Nintendo is bringing the Pokemon franchise to the Nintendo Switch.
On Tuesday, the video game company announced a new game called Pokemon Quest from Game Freak, which now available for free in the Nintendo Switchs e-shop.
Pokemon Quest is a real-time RPG game that allows players to "face off against wild Pokemon and embark on many exciting expeditions," according to the Pokemon franchises Twitter account.
The game will take place in the Tumblecube Island area, where players can interact with the classic first-generation Pokemon, GameSpot reported. Players will build a party full of Pokemon and explore the world. Gamers can also decorate and customize their headquarters.
The new game will be available for mobile devices in June.
The games announcement came alongside two more game announcements for Pokemon: Lets Go, Pikachu! and Pokemon: Lets Go, Eevee!
The two games, which will launch Nov. 16, bring the experience of a classic Pokmon RPG to Nintendo Switch with gameplay that is easily approachable for newcomers to the series, but is also deep enough to keep veteran trainers on their toes, according to the video games official website.
According to The Verge, the two new games will draw heavily from the handheld Pokmon titles, but theyre also as close to a reboot as the game series has ever come.
Game Freak director Junichi Masuda said the game drew from inspiration from the Pokemon Yellow video game, which allowed players to interact more with Pikachu.
These games, 'Lets Go, Pikachu!' and 'Lets Go, Eevee!,' we took inspiration from and used 'Pokmon Yellow' version, 'Special Pikachu Edition,' as the base for these, he said, according to The Verge.
The new games will take place in the Kanto Region of the fictional Pokemon world, which is home to the original 151 Pokemon.
