What is Beast of Reincarnation?
Beast of Reincarnation is an action RPG by Game Freak — the studio behind Pokémon — published by Fictions and built in Unreal Engine 5. It is the studio's first AAA title and a hard tonal break from its past work: a demanding, technical souls-like set in a ruined Japan in the year 4026, where a parasitic corruption called the Blight has consumed the world.
You play Emma, an eighteen-year-old Sealer — an outcast marked by the very Blight she hunts — traveling with Koo, a white dog who is himself a Blighted creature. Together they journey east to west, from the countryside toward the Capital, sealing the colossal Nushi that rule each region and absorbing their powers, with one goal at the end of the road: the Beast of Reincarnation itself, source of all corruption.
Combat blends Emma's fast katana action — parry-centric, in the cadence of Sekiro — with a command menu for Koo that slows time while you pick his skills, like a turn-based RPG bleeding into real time. Successful parries earn the points that fuel Koo's abilities, so defense literally powers your offense.
One rule of this world: "Never look up at the sky." The devs have said an ancient legend warns that something floats up there. We intend to find out what — and document it here.
How this site works
This is an independent guide site, not affiliated with Game Freak or Fictions. Right now (pre-launch) every guide compiles confirmed information from official showcases, developer interviews, and hands-on previews — clearly separated from speculation. From August 4, 2026 we play on day one and rewrite each page with tested strategies: full Nushi walkthroughs, exact skill-tree paths, gear locations, and ending requirements.
