Beast of Reincarnation FAQ

It is an action RPG from GAME FREAK inc., published by Fictions, releasing August 4, 2026. You play Emma, a Sealer, travelling with her dog Koo through a ruined Japan in the year 4026. Combat fuses real-time action with a turn-based command layer for directing Koo.

August 4, 2026 on PS5, Xbox Series X|S and PC via Steam, and day one on Game Pass. If your Steam page shows August 3, that is timezone display — see our release date page.

Yes, day one on Xbox Series X|S and PC Game Pass. You do not need to buy it separately on those platforms.

No Switch 2 version has been announced. Confirmed platforms are PS5, Xbox Series X|S and PC. Game Freak's Pokémon history on Nintendo hardware is why the question comes up, but this is a Fictions-published title.

The Standard Edition is $59.99 and the Deluxe Edition is $69.99. The Deluxe adds cosmetics for Emma and Koo, 100,000 Amber and seedlings — no story content and no early access.

Minimum is an i5-8400 or Ryzen 5 3600, 16 GB RAM, a GTX 1070 (8 GB) or RX 580 (8 GB), and 45 GB on an SSD. Recommended is an i7-12700K or Ryzen 7 5800X with an RTX 3060 (12 GB) or RX 6700 XT (12 GB). Several spec sheets circulating online list different figures — ours come from the Steam listing.

No. It is Game Freak's first large-scale original title outside the Pokémon series, and it is unrelated to that franchise.

No, it is single-player only per the Steam listing.

ESRB has rated it T for Teen (13+). See our parents guide for detail.

Coverage disagrees. Some outlets list a Brown Shiba skin for Koo and 30,000 Amber; others state there are no pre-order bonuses at all. We have not found first-party confirmation, so check the storefront you plan to buy from.

Preload files have been available for a while at roughly 30 GB. The Steam listing reserves 45 GB of space.
