Since early 2022, Game Freak has been slowly revealing more about its next generation of Pokémon. Pokémon Scarlet & Violet are due to launch later this year, expanding on the open world gameplay introduced with Pokémon Legends: Arceus. Later this week, The Pokémon Company will be holding a stream where we should get another look at gameplay.
Game Freak began the year by launching Pokémon Legends: Arceus for the Nintendo Switch, featuring new open world gameplay and Monster Hunter inspired missions and exploration. Swiftly after launch, the company surprised us with the announcement of Pokémon Scarlet & Violet, also due out this year. So far, we've seen the starter and main legendary Pokémon, as well as some small snippets of gameplay through trailers.
