Pokemon Legends: Arceus

The latest Pokemon game from developer Game Freak appears to be a massive change of pace from everything else that the developer has done for more than two decades in the pocket monster universe. The latest trailer for the game showed a lot of the new systems at play in the ancient lands of Hisui, long before it became known as the Sinnoh region.

More aggressive Pokemon chasing you down, the ability to switch attack styles when engaging in combat, and new Pokemon variants like a demonically-possessed fish are just some of the big changes that players can expect when Pokemon Legends: Arceus launches on January 28, 2022.
