Take care of digital creatures on your phone.
Niantic is the company behind the popular Pokémon Go mobile game.
Today Niantic announced a new mobile game called Peridot which has players taking care of digital creatures.
This pet simulation game doesn’t have a release date, but pre-registration is open.
Niantic became a household name in 2016, when it released the AR mobile game, Pokémon Go, which centers around finding and capturing Pokémon by walking around. But today, Niantic announced that it is working on a brand new pet simulator that allows players to care for virtual pets, take images with them in the real world using AR, breed these creatures, and even play with them.
For those of us who were kids in the 90s and early 2000s, this will sound a lot like the popular Tamagotchi and Neopets digital pet simulators of the day, only now you’ll be able to take care of them and participate in activities directly from your phone. The game is slated to come to both iOS and Android, but no launch date has been revealed yet. However, those who are interested can pre-register on Peridot’s website.
