Pokémon Diamond/Pearl Remakes And Pokémon Legends: Arceus Release Dates Set
/
The Pokémon Company announced that remakes Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Pokémon Shining Pearl will launch on November 19, 2021, while Pokémon Legends: Arceus will release on January 28, 2022. Both games set in the Sinnoh region and will launch on the Nintendo Switch worldwide.
Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl are remakes of the 2006 Nintendo DS game Pokémon Diamond and Pokémon Pearl set in the Sinnoh region. This is a full remake with the story and Pokémon all intact and is said to flow just like the original games.
Pokémon Legends: Arceus is set to launch next year and is also set in the Sinnoh region but is apparently set in the past. Arceus is said to stray away from the traditional RPG elements Pokémon games are known for as it will mix RPG and action elements.
Here’s how The Pokémon Company describes Pokémon Legends: Arceus:
In Pokemon Legends: Arceus, the Pokemon series takes a bold new direction, fusing action with RPG elements. The game takes place in the Sinnoh region of the past, long before the events of Pokemon Diamond Version and Pokemon Pearl Version. As the game’s protagonist, the player will set out to create and complete the region’s first Pokedex by catching, surveying, and researching the wild Pokemon that live there.
Sony has lifted Steam region restrictions on God of War Ragnarok, Spider-Man 2, Helldivers 2, and The Last of Us Part II in over 100 countries, including the Philippines.
