Pretty Pokémon-Like LumenTale Sheds Switch Console Exclusivity, Coming Soon to PS5
LumenTale: Memories of Trey, a turn-based RPG that draws heavy inspiration from Pokémon, is set to expand beyond its Nintendo Switch exclusivity with a PS5 release confirmed to be on the way. The Pokémon-style monster-collecting genre has long struggled to find breakout hits outside Nintendo's own franchise, so a well-received newcomer extending its reach to PlayStation broadens its potential audience and suggests confidence in the game's performance since launch.
The game originally launched on Switch and PC via Steam in May 2026, developed by Beehive and published by Team17. Critical reception has been mixed-to-positive, with Nintendo Life awarding it 7/10, though it is still widely regarded as one of the stronger entries in the monster-taming genre. Beehive and Team17 have not yet announced a specific release date for the PS5 version, describing it only as "coming soon".
