Pokémon enters a new era with open world Legends game

New game takes place in old Sinnoh

Pokemon Legends Arceus is the next giant game in the Pokemon series. The Pokemon Company revealed the news today during a special presentation, showcasing a new, open world adventure unlike any Pokemon game before it.

The game will take players into old Sinnoh, years and years before the Diamond & Pearl games, as the three starter ‘Mon are first introduced into the region by a “certain Professor.” Players will be sent out in a more action-oriented, Breath of the Wild inspired take on the world, as they look to find out the mystery behind Arceus, a Mythical Pokémon that’s made the region its home.

Pokémon Legends Arceus will arrive on Switch in early 2022.
