While on November 19th, the new editions Pokémon Bright Diamond and Glowing Pearl are in front of the door, many fans are likely to anticipate another title: Pokémon legend arceus. The hopesman appears on January 28, 2022 and promises innovation through the break with the popular, but now very conservative Pokémon formula.
Above all, the trailers shown so far focused one in the foreground: the world of the game, known under the name Hisui region. Large and open she works, populated by numerous Pokémon, of people and civilization away from Jubeldorf no trace. Speaking and free exploration awoke the impression of an open world. But how open will the Hisui region really be in Pokémon legend Arceus?
Many demarcated areas instead of a coherent world?
Joe Merrick, journalist and quite a well-known personality for fans of the Pokémon-Franchises, announced his thoughts on this question on Twitter. A significant role also played new screenshots that show part of the map of Pokémon legend Arceus.
It is becoming increasingly clear that Pokémon Legends Arceus could not have fully open world, but rather subdivided into open areas, such as Xenoblade Chronicles 2, Monster Hunter etc. So broken down into different areas, as it is the nature zone and the snowland The crown have done , Merrick wrote on Twitter.
The two screenshots shared the Merrick in his tweet underline his statement. The clouds in the first photo either suggest that these areas of the card have not yet revealed or that they are not accessible at the time of the game. Furthermore, a light green line is to be seen, which fenced the area called Obsidian Fieldlands and thus the line of the area could be.
The second photo is approached in more detail and showed explored places within the just mentioned area such as the ambitioning hill or the tree ridge camp field. Both pictures arouse the appearance that one focuses on open but delimited areas instead of exploring minute 1 to the entire world.
Why such delimits can be useful
Admittedly: That Pokémon legends Arceus could become an open-world title, was always no more than a guess of the fans, the Pokémon Company has never taken these words into her mouth. And Merrick s assumption of a concatenation of several areas results in many ways quite sense.
It would be development technology a smaller step for Game Freak, according to the experiments with the nature zone and the second DLC from Pokémon sword and shield. And the accruals would significantly simplify balancing, a level and learning curve - things that are much more difficult in a completely open world.
How open the world of Pokémon legends Arceus is really, we will learn from January 28, 2022, when the game appears exclusively on the Nintendo Switch. What do you think about this subject? Do you wish a fully open world or would you also be satisfied with the division indicated by Merrick? We would be happy to receive your comments!
