Beast of Reincarnation is an unexpected project from Game Freak, known for Pokémon. After the recent gameplay showcase as part of Xbox Developer Direct, many compared the game to "soulslikes".

In an interview with Famitsu, game director Kota Furushima emphasized that Beast of Reincarnation differs greatly from "soulslikes." The game will feature difficulty settings, a linear structure, and no online elements.

We made it so that even those who are not strong at action games can enjoy the game. You can choose the difficulty level, and I recommend setting it lower if you are not confident. The skill system and support from Koo allow everyone to find their own approach, effectively reducing the difficulty.

Beast of Reincarnation will be released this summer on Xbox Series X/S, PS5, and PC.
