Pokemon developer Game Freak announces new game
Game Freak is making a rather ambitious foray into the action-adventure genre with Beast of Reincarnation, an all-new Pokémon-less game launching next year. The game has players step into the shoes of Emma the Sealer, who traverses a post-apocalyptic Japan with her dog companion Koo.
Here’s how Xbox describes the game, according to its YouTube trailer description:
In post-apocalyptic Japan, a land ruined by corruption and crawling with monstrous beasts, humanity’s last hope may rest with Emma–an outcast cursed as a Blighted One–and Koo, her loyal canine companion.
Survive a journey across an ominous, ever-changing world where dangerous forests can erupt in the wasteland. As Emma and Koo push deeper into the unknown, their bond strengthens–and with it, strange powers bloom.
Explore what it means to be human in Beast of Reincarnation, an expansive one-person, one-dog action RPG built around demanding, technical combat. What awaits at journey’s end?
Beast of Reincarnation was previously announced by Game Freak under the codename Project Bloom, and is now being published by Fictions. The game launches sometime in 2026.
