Niantic, the developer of augmented reality (AR) mobile games, recently announced the shutdown of "Harry Potter: Wizards Unite" after the release of "Catan: World Explorers" in September. Apart from the hugely successful "Pokémon Go," most AR games have had disappointing results, including "Minecraft Earth," "Jurassic World Alive," "The Walking Dead: Our World," and Tencent's "Let's Hunt Monsters." The main reason for the failure of these games is that developers aimed too high, trying to replicate the unexpected success of "Pokémon Go." The article suggests that smaller AR experiences like Nintendo's "Pikmin Bloom," which aims to encourage outdoor walking, may have a better prospect. Other AR games, such as Microsoft's "Minecraft Earth" and CD Projekt's "The Witcher: Monster Slayer," have also performed poorly. The article concludes that the success of "Pokémon Go" was a one-off, and most AR games have limited potential. However, smaller, supplementary AR experiences like "Pikmin Bloom" can integrate well into our lives.
