Nintendo also announced the release date for the upcoming Pokémon Legends Arceus, a new spin-off entry in the Pokemon franchise, which will release on the Switch on January 28th 2022.
In case you missed it Pokémon Legends Arceus was announced at the end of April during the 25th anniversary of The Pokemon Company. It’s an open-world title set in a feudal Japan-inspired region called Sinnoh. It looks to take on almost Steampunk style with the interesting latch-type Pokeball that was shown.
