Game Freak, the studio behind the production of popular Pokémon games like Scarlet & Violet, has unveiled their new game titled: The Beast of Reincarnation. For years, this studio has been running parallel with Nintendo, almost acting like its subsidiary. However, after what everyone saw at the Xbox Games Showcase, it seems like the developers have decided to stand out from Nintendo’s shadow.
The contrast between the Pokémon games and The Beast of Reincarnation is as evident as day and night. While the Nintendo-owned game feels graphically underwhelming, the latter manages to live up to the graphic wars with its stunning visuals. This has led to outrage among Nintendo fans, making them feel less important.
Is there a shift in priorities for Game Freak?
Fans always believed that Game Freak would run alongside Nintendo, giving them a sense of pride. Many even thought that this company is owned by Nintendo. However, it is completely untrue as it has been an independent company since day one. Hence, the reveal of The Beast of Reincarnation at the Xbox Games Showcase came as an absolute surprise for everyone.
Even right now, you will find several posts on Reddit where the fans are expressing their reactions. A Redditor called u/LimpJelly6336 has made one such post that has struck a chord with many other players. This user simply expresses his shock by saying:
GAMEFREAK MADE THIS?! BRO THIS IS GAMEFREAK
What follows are hundreds of comments filled with mixed reactions from the fans. While some support Game Freak for their effort, a few feel left out, saying they didn’t work enough on Pokémon games. It is most likely because the games made by Gamer Freak on Nintendo aren’t polished and are bug-ridden. On top of it, the developers don’t publicly reply to the problems, fuming fans even more.
Amidst all this, the developers have managed to deliver a game that looks promising, not only in terms of graphics but also in combat and movement mechanisms. It’s a valid crash out for Nintendo fans, but by no means does this mean that Game Freak is leaving Nintendo. They will continue to develop games with Nintendo, including their upcoming title Pokémon Legends: Z-A.
Things we know about The Beast of Reincarnation so far
The Beast of Reincarnation takes place in post-apocalyptic Japan. The events of this game are from the year 4026, where unknown creatures appear more often than humans. Humanity is on the brink of extinction, and it is your job to prevent it from happening.
You will be playing the role of Emma the Sealer, an outcast cursed as the Blighten One. On this journey, you will be accompanied by a pet canine, aiding you in battle and exploration. Navigate through the dangerous forest landscapes and overcome every challenge put in front of you.
The Beast of Reincarnation is just like Xbox’s version of Ghost of Tsushima. If things go right, it can leave plenty of other titles on the Game Pass behind.
