Wicked Saints emerged from Niantic’s incubator last fall (CNBC article) with a prototype of the world’s first adventure activism game, World Reborn. At its simplest, World Reborn is an interactive story game with real-life quests facilitated byaugmented reality (AR). It not only defies genres between narrative and AR games but blends the digital and real world. Wicked Saints sees AR as a bridge between fantasy and reality, with untapped potential to offer players immersive experiences that change them and their world for good.
