Beast of Reincarnation Releasing in Summer

Publisher Fictions and developer Game Freak revealed that action RPG Beast of Reincarnation will release worldwide this summer for PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S. The reveal comes alongside a new showcase of the game.

Beast of Reincarnation is set in a post-apocalyptic Japan in the year 4026. It follows Emma the Sealer and her canine companion Koo. Emma is born with the blight, which lets her manipulate plants, but lacks memory and emotion, causing others to shun and fear her. Meanwhile, Koo is a malefact, a creature possessing a threat to the world. As a Sealer, Emma is meant to hunt malefacts and absorb the blight into her own body. Their journey ends up taking them to the far west, where they must confront the eponymous Beast of Reincarnation said to be the source of all blight, through blighted forests created by giant malefacts called Nushi.

Gameplay sees Emma fighting using her katana in action combat, with Koo able to support her with skills using a command-based system. By parrying, Emma earns points that can be used for Koo’s actions, which can be activated at any time, with the game slowing while players access Koo’s command menu. The game will feature three difficulties: Normal Mode, Hard Mode, and Story Mode. Players can equip Spirit Stones to obtain effects in battle, as well as find new katanas for Emma and charms for Koo.
