This is the first game in the world of sports that Niantic has created. NBA All World is a location based game that has augmented reality elements. It is described as an NBA lifestyle meets the real world metaverse.

How would that work? NBA All World fills the map around you with points of interest, which is similar to the other releases. They are all basketball-themed, but they are not related to Pokemon. Senior producer Marcus Matthews said in a presentation for the press that they were turning the real world into a basketball themed park. The convenience store near you will become a video game store, the sporting goods store around the corner will become a video game store, and the shoe store around the corner will become a video game store.

There are a few things that make up the experience. There is a one-on-one basketball game where you can play against other players on a map. You can win prizes if you are the best at a specific location. You will be able to collect real-world NBA players by defeating them on the map, and you will be able to personalize them with gear and in-game boost. Some location-based stories will be tied to the hometowns of NBA stars.

One of the studio's goals is to get players outside playing. Matthews said that location mattered. You won't be able to do that because your friend is in another city.

It is expected that All World will be available in full during the next NBA season.

There are a lot of projects in the works. The developer is currently working on a virtual pet game called Peridot, as well as a Transformers game in the works.
