Pokémon Legends: Arceus
Explore Ancient Sinnoh in the Hisui Region
A bold new take on the Pokémon RPG formula
About the Game
Pokémon Legends: Arceus launched on January 28, 2022, presenting a revolutionary reimagining of the Pokémon formula. Set in the ancient Hisui region (what would later become Sinnoh), players join the Galaxy Expedition Team to create the region's first Pokédex.
Unlike traditional Pokémon games, Legends: Arceus features real-time action gameplay where players can catch Pokémon directly from the overworld, dodge attacks, and even battle alongside their Pokémon. The game introduces Strong Style and Agile Style moves, adding strategic depth to combat.
With new Hisuian forms and evolutions of classic Pokémon, a gripping story involving Arceus and the space-time rifts, and innovative gameplay mechanics, Legends: Arceus represents one of the most significant evolutions in Pokémon game design.
