Peridot, the latest from Pokemon Go’s Niantic, coming in May

Feel like a Tamagotchi-like?

Peridot, the Tamagotchi-like coming from Pokemon Go‘s Niantic, will launch on iOS and Android devices this May.

“Our team has been hard at work making Peridots real,” Niantic’s David Hollin said in a blog post.

“They are immersive, amazing magical creatures that eat, sleep, play with toys, explore their environment, get bored, develop unique personalities, and are always in need of a loving adopter like you.”

Players will be tasked to care for their Peridots on an active, day-by-day basis, also tasked to go on “adventures” in the real world. Much like Pokemon Go, expect to be rewarded through your daily steps.

Peridot was first announced back in April of last year; expect it on iOS and Android devices from 9 May.
