There was an Xbox live stream yesterday, which I forgot to watch, but it included a new overview video about Beast of Reincarnation.
We discussed Beast of Reincarnation briefly when it was announced last year at the Xbox Games Showcase.
It’s an action RPG being developed by Game Freak for PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC, and it especially stands out because it looks so different from their other games.
(Of course, we all know Game Freak’s best game finally came to the Nintendo Switch in 2024, but all anyone talks about is Pokémon.)
We didn’t know much about Beast of Reincarnation at the time, but the new trailer provides a lot of information.
It has a futuristic setting, and the main character Emma is someone who can manipulate plants and absorb the world’s blight into her body. She works with Koo, who is a dangerous creature known as a malefact.
Although it’s an action RPG, where you fight and parry attacks using Emma’s katana, you can also unleash Koo’s powerful skills through a command-based system. They’re also calling it a “one-person, one-dog RPG,” which is such a funny way to describe it. I love it.
When the game was announced last year, I came away from the trailer with a general “could be neat” impression, but after watching this overview, I’m actually really interested in it!
What do you think about Beast of Reincarnation?
