So this one sounds like one to get excited about. Peridot, another upcoming game from Niantic, is basically a Tamagotchi from the makers of Pokémon GO. And just wait until you get a look at how cute these pets are.
Peridot was announced for the first time on April 13, 2022, when a press release went live on playperidot.com and across social media. The official announcement reveals a few more details about the game, including some very adorable pictures of the unique and magical creatures we’re going to be responsible for looking after.
What we know about Peridot so far
Firstly, Peridot (or Dot for short, apparently), is the name of this mysterious new species. Well, not new. According to the lore, Peridots first existed thousands of years ago, and are now about to rise from their long sleep. And we need to be there to welcome them into this new world.
Of course the heart-warming new game is going to be AR-friendly (or even AR-encouraged, I guess) – it is Niantic, after all. And the Pokémon GO developer is hoping that this interaction with the real world will make Peridots feel all the more real.
Raising your own Dot
The first gameplay feature of Peridot is of course fostering and raising a Dot of your own. While we don’t know masses about this yet, we can see that we’ll be able to take our Dots for walks, play with them, and get them to find treasures in the real world around us. And, just like Tamagotchis before it, you’ll need to feed and care for your Dot’s needs, making sure it stays happy and satisfied. In other words, you’ll need want to play every day.
Diversifying and researching the species
While raising your own, unique Peridot, Niantic are of course also encouraging multiplayer gameplay. By meeting other players and their own Peridot, you’ll be able to diversify the species by breeding completely new and individual variants. Meanwhile, you’ll be researching the species, discovering different Peridot archetypes, such as the Unicorn, Peacock, and Metallic Archetypes.
Is there a Peridot release date?
Peridot has only just been announced, so there is no release date as yet. However, you can sign up at playperidot.com to be notified about future playtests. Beta testing is due to begin later in April on both iOS and Android devices.
