Pok Mon Legends Arceus Isn T Quite Open World

The endless views and varied landscapes were two of the first things fans latched onto when Pokémon Legends: Arceus was revealed, generating speculation this was the big-budget, open-world Pokémon game they had always wanted. However, it sounds like Game Freak and The Pokémon Company have decided to give players more focused excursions. Still, that isn’t to say Pokémon Legends: Arceus won’t have its own unique features when it launches on Nintendo Switch on January 28, 2022. For example, an August gameplay trailer explained how the player character plays a more involved part in battles. A trailer from last month revealed even more, with an in-depth look at Jubilife Village, Noble and Alpha Pokémon, and Scyther’s new Kleavor evolution.
