Pokemon Legends Announced A New Open World Pokemon Game

Pokemon will get its first open-world game in 2022. Game Freak is developing Pokemon Legends: Arceus, a new open-world game set in a past era of the Sinnoh region. A brief tease released today showed some of the game’s new features - Pokemon freely roam the map, players will need to sneak up on and potentially chase Pokemon to catch them, and battles now take place in real-time with moves costing energy to perform. Players will also choose between Rowlet, Cyndaquil, and Oshawott as their Starter Pokemon. Additionally, there is no transition between maps - battles and exploring all take place without a transition. No further details were given, but we can expect that Pokemon Legends: Arceus will be released near the end of 2022.

First came Sinnoh remakes. Then came Sinnoh pre-makes.
