Follow the game’s Twitter and sign up for the closed beta on the website. On April 25, the creators will invite 10,000 people, according to the website.
Since it’s a Niantic game, you’ll have to travel to numerous locations to combat monsters, earn materials, make weapons, and progress in the game.
“Taking the role of a hunter, players will venture forth and team up with fellow players to take down the fiercest monsters in the world, adding a social element to the thrilling experience,” Niantic stated in a press release.
Monster bouts will last 75 seconds in landscape or portrait orientation.
Niantic previously developed NBA All World, Pikmin Bloom, and Harry Potter: Wizards Unite. That game closed in 2021. The corporation axed four projects and 8% of its personnel last year, including a Transformers game.
Niantic released a test of Peridot in April, letting players stroll virtual pets. The game will launch on May 9.
