Game Freak released a trailer for Beast of Reincarnation – a game that shows that the Pokémon company can do it all on its own without the balls and lightning rodents. Kota Furushima of Pokémon fame is directing this post-apocalyptic game set in Japan. It’s got katanas, large beasts, and of course, mechs that are trying to obliterate you.
Next to Lego Party, this game is co-built by FICTIONS – a 27-man studio. Emma the Sealer and her dog Coo are charged to save humanity one slice, grapple, and everything else in between. The Action Adventure title has a bit of the huge monster battle vibes within the trailer, with some story bits sprinkled in.
Here’s some more from the Steam page:
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 will be released in 2026 for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and Steam.
