Pokémon developers announce new game

Pokémon developers Game Freak and publisher Private Divison have announced they’re collaborating on a brand new action-adventure game code-named ‘Project Bloom’!

While we don’t know much about the game yet, the concept art features what appears to be a samurai (or ronin) standing in a mysterious forest bathed in golden light.
The art definitely has an exciting vibe to it that’s for sure.

Game Freak are most notably known for their Pokémon games, the latest being Scarlet and Violet last year, but are also known to develop new IP from time to time like Little Town Hero and Giga Wrecker.

Private Division are a publishing arm of Take-Two Interactive and have a pretty amazing publishing record so far, with hits like The Outer Worlds, OlliOlli World and Rollerdrome. Their next release, After Us, releases later this month.
