The game launches in January 2022.
Pokemon Legends: Arceus will be released on Nintendo Switch on January 28, 2022.
The game takes players to the distant past, where they’ll explore the Hisui region of the Pokemon universe. Rather than being an entirely new region, the Hisui region is actually what the Sinnoh region was called before it received its modern name.
In Pokemon Legends: Arceus, players will travel to Jubilife Village, where they’ll work as a member of the Galaxy Expedition Team’s Survey Corps on a quest to create the first Pokedex for the Hisui region. Players will be able to team up with Cyndaquil, Rowlet, or Oshawott as their starting Pokemon. From there, they’ll be able to battle and capture wild Pokemon to complete survey missions.
Pokemon Legends: Arceus will be released in just a few short weeks, and while we wait for it to launch, Nintendo offered a preview of what players can expect from the game in a new trailer. Check it out below.
Pokemon Legends: Arceus is available to pre-order for $59.99. The game is rated E for Everyone by the ESRB.
