Funny statement from the developers - Beast of Reincarnation will work better than Pokémon
During the Xbox Developer_Direct 2026, director Kota Furushima commented on performance concerns. In a conversation with IGN, he assured that the team is focusing on optimization and bug fixes so that the visuals support dynamic battles and don't spoil the experience.
This frank statement provoked an ironic reaction from some fans — many still remember the "slide show" in Pokémon Scarlet & Violet. Furushima admitted that in the new intellectual property, the studio cannot afford to make mistakes that used to get away with. Pokémon sold well despite technical problems, while Beast of Reincarnation is an AAA project on Unreal Engine 5, where any mistake can undermine the chances of success.
The game will be a dark combat role-playing game set in post-apocalyptic Japan. The main character Emma and her wolf Ku fight a mysterious plague, and the exploration of the world relies on a variety of game mechanics.
