Pokémon studio Game Freak has released a new monster-slaying game set in post-apocalyptic Japan. The game, titled Beast of Reincarnation, was revealed yesterday by the studio behind the mega-popular Pokémon games. The game is set in the year 4026 and features a female protagonist battling “blight.” The game is set for release next year on Xbox and PC.
“Humanity awaits its inevitable extinction,” the newly released trailer for Beast of Reincarnation ominously warns. It was revealed at the recent Xbox Games Showcase 2025, where developers said it will be available on Xbox series X and S, and Xbox PC.

The June 8 reveal includes a short trailer for the game (originally announced as “Project Bloom” back in May), featuring Emma “the sealer” engaged in ferocious battles with enemies, and attempting to destroy the Beast of Reincarnation which spews forth “blight” upon the earth.
“From developers GAME FREAK Inc., Beast of Reincarnation launches day one with Xbox Game Pass in 2026. Also coming to Xbox Series X|S.” the Xbox official trailer description read. The game’s mechanics are described as “demanding, technical combat.”
Xbox also summarized the game saying, “In post-apocalyptic Japan, a land ruined by corruption and crawling with monstrous beasts, humanity’s last hope may rest with Emma—an outcast cursed as a Blighted One—and Koo, her loyal canine companion.” The trailer also features what appears to be a friendly giant robot. Lush scenery such as rice paddies and forests indeed is accurate to much of Japan’s verdant landscape.
Tokyo-based Game Freak has seen massive success with its Pokémon titles on Nintendo platforms, but also is behind other titles, such as 2015’s Tembo the Badass Elephant (published by Sega), 2017’s Giga Wrecker (published by Rising Star Games), and Little Town Hero, which was self-published.
