Game Freak is preparing to launch its first original action RPG outside the Pokémon franchise, Beast of Reincarnation, on August 4 across PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC, with a full voice cast and pre-order bonuses now announced.
Game Freak is weeks away from releasing Beast of Reincarnation, an action RPG set in post-apocalyptic Japan in the year 4026. The game follows Emma, a girl shunned as a 'tainted one' who lacks memories and emotions, and her white corrosive companion Kuu, as they journey to defeat the Beast of Reincarnation, the source of a substance called 'taint' that corrupts living things. Director Kōta Furushima described the story as 'one person and one creature' born from a single sensation.
The voice cast was revealed during the PC Gaming Show on June 7 and June 8, 2026. Yui Ishikawa voices Emma, with Akio Ōtsuka as Brad, Miyuki Satō as Violet, Sumire Morohoshi as Kagura, and Yū Kobayashi as Kunai. Additional cast includes Akira Ishida, Satoshi Mikami, Rina Satō, and Tetsuo Kanao. The game launches August 4, 2026 on PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Steam and Microsoft Store, and will be available on Xbox Game Pass from day one. Physical editions for PS5 and Xbox Series X|S will release on the same date, with store-specific purchase bonuses.
Pre-order bonuses for physical and digital deluxe editions include skins for the wolf-like partner Ku, such as a Shiba Inu style. The announcements confirm a concrete launch plan for a project that had only been teased before, marking Game Freak's first major original action RPG outside the Pokémon franchise in several years.
