Ingress developer Niantic Spatial shuttering New Zealand office
Niantic Spatial is closing its office in New Zealand and laying off employees as it shifts focus from video games to enterprise markets. The company, which was spun out of Niantic Inc. after the sale of its video game business, had secured significant funding to develop an AI-powered geospatial model. While it continues to operate the AR title Ingress, it discontinued the virtual pet app Peridot in April 2026.
