Niantic announces Peridot, a new AR pet sim game

Niantic announced its latest game in development, a new IP called Peridot. This new AR title is a pet simulation game, in which players will be raising and training multiple generations of companion creatures, called Peridots or “Dots.”

In the world of the game, Dots are a small species of creature that have awoken after thousands of years in stasis. Humans must help them adapt to the new world. These small creatures are on the verge of extinction, so it’s vitally important that we breed Peridots to both carry on the species and diversify its DNA. So when you play Peridot, you will be caring for, raising, and eventually breeding a series of small, four-legged fantasy creatures.
