Say hello to Pokémon Brilliant Diamond & Shining Pearl.

Pokémon Brilliant Diamond & Shining Pearl, remakes of the Nintendo DS’ Diamond & Pearl, will head to Switch later this year.

Nintendo and The Pokémon Company made the confirmation overnight as part of a special celebratory Pokémon 25th anniversary livestream.

The remakes will be overseen by ILCA, a developer that’s worked on titles including Dragon Quest XI, NieR: Automata, Code Vein and Pokémon Home.

“Sinnoh. Remakes. Confirmed. Experience the nostalgic story from Pokémon Diamond and Pokémon Pearl in a new adventure,” Nintendo said alongside a reveal trailer (below).

We’ll let you know when a specific release date for Pokémon Brilliant Diamond & Shining Pearl is named.

Stevivor is a combination of ‘Steve’ and ‘Survivor’, which made more sense back in 2001 when Jeff Probst was up in Queensland. The site started as Steve’s travel blog before transitioning over into video games.
