Niantic, the creators of Pokémon GO, have released their new game Peridot today, May 9, 2023, for iOS and Android. This augmented reality (AR) game allows players to bring virtual pets to life and create a unique relationship with them through their mobile devices.
Peridot builds upon Niantic’s AR experience from previous games such as Pokémon GO and Pikmin Bloom, but with a distinct focus on creating a bond with virtual creatures that can be viewed in the real world through the screen of your mobile device.
Similar to the Tamagotchi, Peridot requires players to take care of fantastical creatures that can become your virtual pets. The game aims to recreate the experience of owning a real pet, but in a fantastic setting with imaginative and colorful creatures that are always friendly and adorable.
The game tracks your real-world location using maps and Niantic’s technology, allowing players to search for “Dots”, the nickname for Peridot creatures. Once a Dot is found, players can interact with it in a variety of ways through the AR interface.
Peridot is available now for free download on the Apple App Store for iOS and the Google Play Store for Android.
