Rumors suggest that the release of Pokémon Legends: Arceus may be delayed. The open-world Pokémon title was announced back in February to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the monster collection franchise. The game is set to explore the origins of the Sinnoh region introduced in Pokémon Diamond and Pearl.
While Pokémon Legends: Arceus looks to shake up the typical Pokémon gameplay, it actually isn't the first Pokémon Legends game to exist. The original Pokémon Legends was an unofficial browser-based massively multiplayer game that allowed players to travel together as they locate, battle and collect Pokémon. The game appears to be no longer available; it's possible that Nintendo seized the domain in anticipation of Legends: Arceus' release, but it still remains a part of the franchise's history.
Gaming news website Dexerto reports that the release of Pokémon Legends: Arceus may be delayed based on a recent leak. The leak, which confirms the release date of Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl, comes from popular Twitter account @CentroLeaks. The account suggests that the original release window for Legends: Arceus, which was announced as early 2022, may now be occupied by another big Nintendo title. The actual release window for the game should be defined later this year, according to @CentroLeaks.
The Pokémon franchise celebrated its 25th anniversary this year, and the celebration has led to a ton of announcements and new games. A highly-anticipated new entry in the franchise, New Pokémon Snap, is set to release on April 30. The game is a sequel to 1999's Pokémon Snap, an on-rails photography simulator that originally released on the Nintendo 64. The game allows fans to experience Pokémon in their natural habitat, snapping harmless pictures of the supernatural creatures rather than fighting and capturing them. Pokémon GO, an augmented reality mobile installment in the series, recently celebrated the release of New Pokémon Snap with rare new varieties of Pokémon.
Pokémon Legends: Arceus is a highly-anticipated new installment in the long-running series. The game is set to drastically change up the series' gameplay, adding an open-world aspect to the franchise that will make it stand apart from previous releases. While the game's delay is not officially confirmed, Nintendo has been largely silent about it since it was announced, so it's anyone's guess what the future holds.
Pokémon Legends: Arceus is anticipated for a release in early 2022.
