The release window has now been locked into a specific date.
While Xbox’s recent livestream detailed a release window for Game Freak’s upcoming Beast of Reincarnation, Sony’s State of Play today did one better and offered up a proper release date of 4 August 2026.
“Enter the beautiful yet brutal world of Beast of Reincarnation – a one-of-a-kind one person, one dog action RPG,” Game Freak said alongside the news and a new trailer.
“The year is 4026 AD. In the ruins of post-apocalyptic Japan, a parasitic decay known as the Blight infests the land, transforming all living things into Malefacts. Emma, a survivor shunned as a blightborn, begins her journey alongside Koo, a Malefact, who has retained its soul. Together, they venture to hunt down the Beast of Reincarnation- the primordial source of the Blight.”
“In a world eroded by the Blight, formidable enemies and the Blighted Forests threaten Emma and Koo,” Game Freak continued. “The combat fuses Emma’s real-time action with Koo’s turn-based strategy. By defeating foes, Emma and Koo awaken their latent abilities, mastering various styles of combat and techniques.”
Players can expect Beast of Reincarnation from 4 August on Windows PC via Steam, Xbox Series S, Xbox Series X, and PS5.
