Game Freak and publisher Fictions have announced the launch date of their very interesting action-RPG, Beast of Reincarnation. The title will debut on August 4 on Xbox Series X|S, and will be playable from day one within the Xbox Game Pass catalog.

The adventure will transport us to the year 4026, within a post-apocalyptic and ruined Japan. The entire territory has been consumed by a parasitic decay that infests the land, capable of transforming every living being into lethal monstrosities called Malefacts. In this bleak scenario we will play the role of Emma, an outcast survivor, flanked by her inseparable dog Koo, a Malefact who has incredibly managed to preserve his soul. Our ultimate goal will be to venture into these hostile lands to hunt down the Beast of Reincarnation, the primordial source of this plague, defeating the formidable bosses known as Nushi along the way.

At the gameplay level, Beast of Reincarnation will propose a peculiar structure for the genre, expertly mixing Emma's real-time action fights with the turn-based strategy linked to Koo's actions. By exploring corrupted forests and taking down enemies, we will be able to awaken the latent abilities of our two heroes, coming to master different techniques and fighting styles to face increasingly imposing threats.

The announcement of the launch date was accompanied by a new, immersive cinematic trailer dedicated to gameplay, which allowed us to admire the exceptional visual sector of the game, the intense action of the clashes and the deep narrative supported by the setting itself. We show it to you below, while we wait for the beginning of August to launch ourselves into this brutal and fascinating journey.
