Japanese studio Game Freak, legendary for the Pokémon series, has dropped a new trailer for its upcoming action-RPG Beast of Reincarnation. Digital pre-orders are now officially live across all platforms.

The game is available in two editions: Standard and Deluxe. In the Russian Steam store, they are priced at 2,800 rubles and 3,250 rubles, respectively.

Beast of Reincarnation is a single-player, third-person action-RPG set in a post-apocalyptic Japan in the year 4026. The story follows a young girl named Emma and her elderly dog, Ku, as they embark on a perilous journey to confront mystical creatures threatening their world. The project is being developed on Unreal Engine 5.

Beast of Reincarnation is slated for release on August 4, 2026, for PC (Steam), PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X/S.

It’s also worth noting that Game Freak is currently working on the next generation of Pokémon games, titled Pokemon Winds and Pokemon Waves. Those titles are expected to launch in 2027 for the Nintendo Switch 2.
