Peridot’s multiplayer consists of collaborate with other gamers to cross our pets to obtain new species of Dots.

This is how Niantic talks about the new game in Press release: “Our team has worked hard to bring Peridots to life. They are amazing and immersive magical creatures that eat, sleep, play with toys, explore their environment, get bored, develop unique personalities and always need someone loving to adopt them just like you.”.

“Each Peridot is also 100% genetically unique. They inherit a mix of genes from their parents that can make them blue, black, metallic, furry, goat-horned, big-eared, bushy-tailed, and an infinite number of other appearances.”, explained the study on the crossings.

“Our team has marked some of these variants that we have identified as Archetypes (Unicorn, Clownfish…). But if this excites you, it will be your responsibility as a Guardian to work with other Guardians to discover all the different possible Peridot combinations, including ones beyond our own imagination.”.

Peridot will be available on May 9, but if you register on their official page you will get a housewarming gift in the form of a festive hat for your first pet.
