Game Freak, best known for its work on Pok\u00e9mon games, unveiled a new look and title for its upcoming project on Sunday during the Xbox Games Showcase<\/a>. Beast of Reincarnation<\/em> is headed to Xbox Series X, Windows PC, and PlayStation 5 sometime in 2026.<\/p>\n

Beast of Reincarnation<\/em> has you playing as Emma the Sealer in the far-off future of 4026 as \u201chumanity awaits its inevitable extinction,\u201d according to the trailer\u2019s voiceover. Emma is \u201cthe blade that will destroy the Beast of Reincarnation\u201d through some sick-looking, action-focused gameplay. <\/p>\n

Emma battles both oversized creatures and robots in the trailer. The combat and parry mechanic shown off resemble what you might expect from a Soulslike, though we\u2019ll have to wait for details to see how Game Freak officially describes Beast of Reincarnation<\/em>. Both its imagery and environmental themes give off heavy Studio Ghibli vibes.<\/p>\n

Beast of Reincarnation<\/em> was originally revealed in 2023 and called Project Bloom<\/em> at the time<\/a>. \u201cWe\u2019re thrilled to have the opportunity to create new IP that is bold and tonally different from our prior work,\u201d Game Freak director Kota Furushima said at the time via a news release. The developer is of course synonymous with the Pok\u00e9mon series, having developed the original Pok\u00e9mon Red<\/em>, Blue<\/em>, and Yellow<\/em> in the \u201990s and many, many more Pok\u00e9mon titles since.<\/p>\n
