Beast of Reincarnation Confirmed for August 4, 2026
Game Freak's action RPG Beast of Reincarnation has a firm release date — August 4, 2026 — across PS5, Xbox Series X|S and PC, with Xbox Game Pass day one.
After years in development, Beast of Reincarnation finally has a date. Game Freak’s action RPG launches on August 4, 2026, releasing simultaneously on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S and PC — and arriving on Xbox Game Pass day one.
A landmark for Game Freak
The announcement, made via the PlayStation Blog, marks a major moment for the studio best known for Pokémon. Beast of Reincarnation is Game Freak’s first non-Pokémon AAA release and its first major multiplatform title in years. Building it in Unreal Engine 5, the team is stepping well outside its comfort zone.
What’s launching
Players take the role of Emma, an 18-year-old Sealer with blight-fused plant powers, alongside her dog companion Koo, across a beautiful and harsh far-future Japan. The game promises demanding, technical combat and a story about an outcast searching for what it means to feel.
