Former Pokémon Go Exec Names Monsarrat The Next Big Thing

Following demo meetings at Augmented World Expo, industry celebrities have named Monsarrat the successor to Pokémon Go.

Jenna Seiden was VP Business Development at Niantic, in charge of all partnerships including Pokémon Go. Now she is an advisor to Monsarrat, saying:

With foundational patents and proprietary technology, Johnny’s team is bringing outdoor gaming into major genres – action, role-playing, racing, strategy – that have long thrived on PC and console but never successfully translated outdoors.
Their vision is bold, and their execution is grounded in both technical depth and player insight. It’s with confidence that I can say Johnny and his team are leading the next evolution of outdoor gaming.

Charlie Fink, columnist for Forbes and perhaps the world’s most important XR journalist, met us for a demo at Augmented World Expo, and wrote, “I haven’t seen anything like this since Pokémon Go.”

Mitch Keamy, Partner at investment bank Baird Augustine, wrote an industry report, Deep Dive: Monsarrat at a Turning Point for Outdoor Video Games, saying:

With 6 patents, support from journalists, and an all-star team including a founder who previously co-invented a major video game category, Monsarrat may create another new category of video game, with unicorn potential.

And Mike Boland of leading news channel AR Insider also wrote a feature article on Monsarrat, saying:

Pokémon Go’s legacy as a use case will be carried on by someone other than Niantic… or Pokémon Go’s new owner, Scopely. It could germinate from a small but pedigreed game company called Monsarrat… Landing Party and Monsarrat have the ingredients to succeed Pokémon Go.
