Trained by decades of Pokemon, Game Freak has taken petting the dog to a new level in its RPG Beast of Reincarnation: pet it, wash it, and master a whole affection system
Game Freak’s forthcoming action RPG Beast of Reincarnation will include a detailed bond system for its canine companion, allowing players to pet, wash and otherwise care for it. The feature builds on the studio’s long association with Pokémon games and suggests that companionship will be a meaningful part of the game rather than a purely cosmetic extra.
The game’s dog can receive affection through several interactions, with care activities apparently feeding into a broader relationship mechanic. Beast of Reincarnation was announced as a new RPG from Game Freak, and the feature has drawn attention because it expands the familiar “pet the dog” interaction into a more developed system.
