Game Freak, perhaps best known for its work on the Pokémon franchise, is working on a new action RPG called Beast of Reincarnation that will launch sometime in 2026. It’s coming to PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X / S.
In the game, you play as Emma, who will be accompanied by a canine friend. “Survive a journey across an ominous, ever-changing world where dangerous forests can erupt in the wasteland,” according to the description from a new trailer shown at the Xbox Games Showcase 2025. “As Emma and Koo push deeper into the unknown, their bond strengthens—and with it, strange powers bloom.”
The description also says the RPG is built around “demanding, technical combat,” and based on the trailer, that sure appears to be the case — it looks thrilling.
Beast of Reincarnation was originally announced as Project Bloom, according to an emailed press release. The game was previously set to be published by Take-Two’s Private Division label, but Take-Two sold that label last year. Beast of Reincarnation is now being published by Fictions.
Update, June 8th: Added what platforms the game will be available on and confirmation that the game is what was once known as Project Bloom.
