Pokémon Go creator John Hanke of Niantic to speak at GamesBeat 2016

John Hanke has come a long way with Niantic Labs, the creator of the mobile gaming sensation Pokémon Go. That augmented reality game is so hot that it has broken records, shooting to No. 1 in the top downloads and top-grossing mobile games charts in just seven days.

We’re delighted to announce that Hanke will join us for an exciting fireside chat for the AR/VR (augmented reality/virtual reality) day at GamesBeat 2016 to address the launch of Pokémon Go and the prospects for augmented reality games.
