The Pokmon Company has said that it has a robust rollout" for Pokmon Arceus that well hear more about soon.

FULL STORY ======================================================================

The Pokmon Company isnt ready to reveal more about Pokmon Legends: Arceus right now but it will be soon.

Speaking in an interview with GamesBeat (via GamesRadar ) JC Smith, the
senior director of consumer marketing at The Pokmon Company, said that when
it comes to Arceus, the company has a robust rollout" planned, adding that there's "not a lot that I can share at this time. But the team has a lot of great things to share, and youll be hearing from us soon.

Unfortunately, Smith wasnt able to give any indication on how soon soon is. Pokmon Legends: Arceus was first revealed to the world back in February of this year in a Nintendo Direct celebrating Pokmons 25th anniversary. Since then, the biggest news has been a confirmation of its 2022 release date and box art reveal via Twitter . Pokmon Sword or Shield : version differences and exclusives explained Best Nintendo Switch games : the most essential Switch and Lite games right now New games 2021 : upcoming game release dates for console and PC

Nintendo didnt offer any more information in its E3 2021 presentation and doesnt appear to have any plans for Gamescom 2021 as its not listed as a partner , so its hard to predict when exactly we might learn more.

Pokmon Legends: Arceus is a Nintendo Switch exclusive and it currently has a release date of January 28 2022, which actually isnt all that long away. That said, its not the only upcoming Pokmon game, with Pokmon Brilliant Diamond
and Pokmon Shining Pearl (remakes of the beloved Nintendo DS titles) set to release first, in November of this year. Analysis: why not reveal more right now?

We know: why soon? If there are lots of great things to share why not right now, this minute, this second ? Well, actually, its maybe kind of understandable that The Pokmon Company is reticent about Pokemon: Arceus at the moment.

For one thing, the Pokmon calendar is actually pretty busy. Pokmon Unite, the strategic team battle game, has only just launched on Nintendo Switch and is likely the companys most immediate focus. Then, before we get to Pokmon: Arceus January 2022 launch date, theres Pokmon Brilliant Diamond and Pokmon Shining Pearl in November. There's probably still more we have to learn about these remakes, so it's easy to see that being The Pokmon Companys next
hurdle.

Arceus 2022 release date, early in the year though it is, likely means its
not at the top of the priority list at the moment as far as revealing details is concerned.

Plus, given Pokmon Legends: Arceus looks set to change things quite a bit, with official website saying it honours past Pokmon games core gameplay while infusing new action and RPG elements, it's possible The Pokmon Company will want take its time over laying out exactly what that means.

Pokmon: Arceus is a prequel of sorts, taking players into a historical Sinnoh region. The scope of the open world appears to be larger than previous
entries in the series (think Sword and Shield s Wild Areas but more ) and notions of what it means to be a Pokmon Trainer or even what a Pokmon League is are totally different.

Arceus certainly gives the impression it'll be an entry that experiments with some of the Pokmon formula but, for a series thats so long-running and beloved, announcements regarding changes cant just be flung out into the worldits likely The Pokmon Company will want to lay out a cohesive picture of what players can expect and why they should look forward to it, rather than tidbits here and there.

Still, this doesnt get us any closer to answering when exactly we might learn more. Nintendo still has a good amount of time left in the year for announcements and, given the strength of the Pokmon franchise, big events
like Gamescom or E3 arent strictly necessary to prop up a dedicated Arceus Nintendo Direct. With that in mind, we could learn more at any time over the next few months so keep your eyes and ears open. Nintendo Switch OLED release date, price, specs, and why it's not 4K
