Pokémon Legends: Arceus Shares Extensive 13-Minute Deep Dive Trailer Detailing Gameplay Mechanics

Nintendo has shared a new 13-minute deep dive trailer of the soon-to-be-released Pokemon Legends: Arceus, explaining the myriad of gameplay mechanics prospective players can look forward to. This new trailer is essential as the latest videos of the game have constantly been recycling the same bits of footage, so having an ample degree of new visuals to parse is thrilling. Questing, cosmetic alterations, survey analyses, and more are explained thoroughly.

Pokémon Legends: Arceus is released for Nintendo Switch on January 28, 2022.

Between its reveals and the fresh new components of the battle system, some bold steps are being transparently taken here. While I wasn’t sold on this title during its initial reveal, this newly revealed footage is undoubtedly amping up the hype.

The sheer premise of a Pokémon title being set this far in the past is enticing enough, and I hope that the game’s execution embraces its contextual strengths well. Based on its trailers, that certainly seems to be the case, but we will merely have to wait and see how every game design aspect coalesces.
