For years now, Pokémon fans have been dreaming of a true open-world entry in the series. One where Pokémon could be seen in the world and needed to be captured in a more strategic way. Game Freak has played with this in limited open-world areas in games like Pokémon Sword and Shield, but they’ve never fully embraced the idea. Until now, that is. A few details were leaked earlier this morning, but now Pokémon Legends: Arceus has been fully unveiled!

A prequel to Pokémon Diamond and Pearl (which is also getting a remake), the game will feature a full Breath-of-the-Wild-style open world and require players to carefully observe their environment to find and capture Pokémon. This a Game Freak’s main project at the moment (the Diamond/Pearl remakes are being handled by a new studio) and they hope this will be the next big step in the series’ evolution. Check out a trailer for Pokémon Legends: Arceus, below.
