Niantic is working on another AR game in their expansive portfolio of similar titles, in Peridot.
Discover the fantastical world of Peridot, an upcoming real-world adventure pet game where you care for one-of-a-kind adorable creatures, raise them to adulthood as you explore the world together, and re-diversify their species to protect them from extinction.
Niantic says that Peridot will be entering soft launch soon, initially available in limited markets for beta testing. Players can register their email address via the sign-up website for updates and for when the app will be available in your region. The overview for the game is given as follows:
FALL IN LOVE WITH YOUR UNIQUE VIRTUAL PETS
Foster your magical Peridots, creatures who feel so real, you’ll simply love every moment you spend raising them. Pet, play, feed, and teach them tricks to keep them healthy and help them grow.
EXPLORE THE WORLD TOGETHER DURING DAILY ADVENTURES
Take your Peridots on walks wherever you go and discover new places in your local neighborhood. As you explore together, you’ll uncover helpful items to keep your creatures happy and snap photos and videos to track all of your memories together.
BREED AND DIVERSIFY NEW GENERATIONS OF PERIDOTS
Band together and collaborate with other players around the world to expand the Peridot species. Breed your one-of-a-kind creatures and discover the infinite possibilities of Peridot archetypes. Some can even resemble your favorite animals like cheetahs, dragons, unicorns, and more!
