The new Peridot Game by Niantic, which is also the mind behind Pokemon Go, sets the official release date of its game for May 9th. The studio first unveiled a look at the upcoming game last Spring and it invites plays to breed and care for virtual pets dubbed 'Dots.'
Each Dot will have a unique look due to a system that allows the Dots to inherit a blend of genes from their parents. Currently, pre-registrations for the Peridot game are available on the App Store and Google Play Store. Notably, those that pre-register and play the game within the first two weeks of its launch will also receive a special party hat accessory for their Dots.
