The Big N has announced the next slew of Pokemon games, with Pokemon Sword and Shield taking place in a brand new region and featuring never-before-seen Pokemon to hoover up.

Remember that traditional Pokemon RPG that Nintendo promised last year? Yep, this is it.

Both games take place in the Galar region, featuring cities, snow-covered plains, and mountains to explore. Your goal is to fight for the role of Pokemon Champion, and you’ll have new partners to choose from: Grookey, Scorbunny, and Sobble.

That’s about all we know so far: Ninty’s latest Direct really was just a quickie, so we’ll have to wait for more information.

Pokemon Sword and Pokemon Shield will launch worldwide later this year, exclusively for Nintendo Switch.
