Pokemon Legends: Arceus Official Preview Video January 14, 2022

It’s just a matter of weeks until Game Freak releases a major new game in the Pokémon franchise, Pokémon Legends: Arceus. In this prequel game you will take control of one of the first Pokémon trainers in the Sinnoh region.

However, other than a trailer and some screenshots we haven’t seen very much of the game leading up to release. That ended this week as Nintendo and Game Freak released this official preview video. Take a look!

I wish the preview had been longer, or we had seen this preview earlier and more previews were still to be released. The gameplay is entirely different from any of the Pokémon games we’ve seen before, and that can be a good thing. Movement and gameplay appear to be in real-time. Oh, and I’m so happy to see there will be quests! This reminds me of playing an MMO, except in single-player and that suits me just fine.

Pokémon Legends: Arceus is coming January 28th, 2022 exclusively to the Nintendo Switch.
