Beast of Reincarnation director Kota Furushima says that Game Freak's upcoming action RPG wasn't consciously developed to be in a completely different genre and style from the company's other games, such as the Pokemon series.
In an interview with Famitsu, translated by GamesRadar+, Furushima discusses how the team at Game Freak landed on the idea of creating a realistic-style action RPG, particularly since it isn't similar to anything the studio has worked on before.
