Game Freak, the developers of Pokemon, have officially unveiled their mysterious Project Bloom game that they have been working on since 2023.

The game’s full name is Beast Of Reincarnation, and is an action adventure game that looks similar in style to Dark Souls or Elden Ring. It is planned to release in 2026 for PC, Playstation 5, and XBox Series. The visuals and gameplay appear to be a bit too much for the first Switch to handle, but it could perhaps make its way to the Switch 2 in the future.

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?

The previous major non-Pokemon project from Game Freak was Little Town Hero, which received lukewarm reception on launch. Beast Of Reincarnation looks to be of much higher quality, although we will have to wait for the full release to see for sure.
