The intriguing new style ofPokemongame is right around the corner
The launch ofPokemon Legends: Arceusis weeks away at this point. If the wait’s weighing on you though, Nintendo has put out a new overview trailer showing off life in olden Hisui-region times.
The newPokemon Legends: Arceustrailer is a roughly six-minute overview of what’s to come in the new adventure. Some of it includes aspects of theHisui regionwe’ve already seen, like exploring the open world. And others give us a better idea of what we should expect in the near future.
It is, as of this writing, only available in Japanese though. Check it out below:
There are parts ofPokemon Legends: Arceuswe already knew, like its world exploration and the terrifying feeling ofgetting chased by massive, angry Pokemon. There are also a bunch of cosmetic options for your Pokemon Trainer, NPCs to talk to, and even mechanics like resting at camp sites, it seems.
It’s really interesting to seePokemon Legends: Arceusin motion, though. This is probably the greatest sense we’ve gotten so far of how everything will click together into a single experience. Rather than walking around in tall grass and engaging in random battles,Pokemon Legends: Arceuscertainly seems like it will ask a bit more of your Trainer. Dodge, duck, dip, dive, and dodge those lightning bolts, buddy.
The music backing this trailer is also pretty reminiscent ofBreath of the Wildat times, too. It’s been easy to draw comparisons fromArceustoTheLegend of Zelda‘s massive open-world Switch game too, but hearing some musical similarities has me pumped.
We’re just weeks out fromPokemon Legends: Arceuslaunching, so this trailer has been a nice way to get set for all this game will be. The new take onPokemonwill launch onJan. 28, 2022for the Nintendo Switch.
