Pokémon Legends: Arceus is getting rather close to release, arriving on 28th January to give us a different sort of adventure with our favourite Pocket Monsters. Its setting and time is already a fresh take for the franchise, and now the latest trailer introduces more of the game’s cast.
We meet Hisui’s two major clans, which have rather familiar names, and also get a look at the merchants of the region. You can see the new video above and some further details below:
As well as being home to the Galaxy Expedition Team, two other groups reside in the Hisui region: the Diamond Clan and the Pearl Clan. Adaman serves as the leader of the Diamond Clan and has Leafeon as his partner Pokémon, while Irida serves as the leader of the Pearl Clan, and her partner Pokémon is Glaceon. A group of merchants known as the Ginkgo Guild also operates in the Hisui region selling wares to Trainers.
In addition, players with play records from the Pokémon Brilliant Diamond or Pokémon Shining Pearl games will be able to take on a research request in Pokémon Legends: Arceus that will lead to an encounter with the Mythical Pokémon Darkrai. They will also be able to claim the Modern Team Galactic Set.
It’ll be interesting to see how well this entry sells – will it be picked up by long-term fans and also potentially tempt in all-new players? We shall see, in the meantime let us know what you think of this update down in the comments.
