Niantic Labs is no stranger to cute creatures featured in\u00a0AR mobile games; it popularized the genre with games like Pok\u00e9mon Go and Pikmin Bloom. But now, Niantic is betting on its own IP with the new AR experience called Peridot.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The game is named after the critters at the center of the game. Peridots, or Dots as Niantic also calls them, are to be raised from birth to adulthood and can be bred to create new variations of Peridots. Because it’s an AR game like\u00a0Pok\u00e9mon Go, you’ll be able to travel with your Dots, who will help you find items in the world or can be used for a photo-op at a local landmark.\u00a0<\/p>\n
