Game Freak Breaks Free From ‘Pokémon' With ‘Beast Of Reincarnation'
'Beast of Reincarnation' is a new and upcoming game developed by Game Freak.
For many, Game Freak is synonymous with Pokémon, but their upcoming game Beast of Reincarnation looks to shatter that preconception.
Set in the far-off future, Beast of Reincarnation looks similar to something like NieR: Automata by way of Sekiro. In short, an ostentatious action game with a fascinating setting and stunning visuals.
While the initial trailer (shown below) only lists the fact that the game will be coming to Xbox, it will also be released on the PlayStation 5 and PC, via Steam.
The publisher behind this is also curious, called Fictions, their only other game is LEGO Party!, which is out later this year.
The reason this new publisher seems noteworthy is that Beast of Reincarnation is clearly not a small game in a budgetary sense.
For one, it looks very impressive graphically, and for another, there seems to be some genuine production value behind it.
This is interesting because Game Freak is often criticized for its somewhat low-budget approach to Pokémon. Whereas this new game shows that maybe Game Freak isn't the one at fault there.

In any case, Beast of Reincarnation looks amazing, and I am genuinely happy to see Game Freak being given the opportunity (and budget) to make a very different type of game than what they are typically known for.
Beast of Reincarnation will be released in 2026 for Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, and PC.
