A new trailer for the upcoming Pokémon Legends: Arceus provides further details on several of the game’s features ahead of its launch on the Nintendo Switch later this week, including the special kinds of Pokémon players will come across in the ancient Hisui Region. Serving as a prequel of sorts to Pokémon Diamond and Pearl, Pokémon Legends: Arceus promises to take the long-running Pokémon franchise in new directions as players explore a colorful landscape on a mission to complete the world’s first PokéDex.
To accomplish that goal, players will encounter new and exciting variants of familiar Pokémon in Pokémon Legends: Arceus, including a seemingly wooden version of the Poké Ball-like Voltorb and the surprisingly frightening Hisuian Zorou and Zoroark. In Pokémon Legends: Arceus, humanity has only just begun to make contact with Pokémon and are still fearful of the various elementally-powered creatures that roam the land — and in return, the Pokémon are mistrusting of any outsiders that come into their territory. Battles in Pokémon Legends: Arceus will unfold in real-time, as wild Pokémon try to attack the player if they get too close while on their journey.
