Game Freak (yes, the creators of Pokémon) is about to release their new action RPG, Beast of Reincarnation. The release is scheduled for August 4th at 3:00 AM Moscow time, and owners of the standard edition will be able to preload it starting August 2nd. The game exceeds expectations in size—30.238 GB, version 01.003.000, and a price of $59.99 (around 4800 rubles). But that’s far from the only aspect that has the community excited.
Reports have surfaced that the Steam page lists the date as August 3rd—and this isn’t a mistake, but a quirk of regional time zones. The global unlock will begin at midnight GMT, with some stores shifting the date a day earlier. The developers haven’t yet commented on this detail, but fans are already speculating. By the way, the game will be available on PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC, and will also be included in Xbox Game Pass from day one—a nice bonus for subscribers.

When will Beast of Reincarnation be released, and how big is the game?
The release date is August 4, 2026, at 00:00 GMT (03:00 Moscow time). Pre-download starts on August 2, so the files will already be on disk by the time of the debut. The size is 30.238 GB, which is quite typical for a modern project, but not everyone is ready for such a bandwidth-intensive task. Version 01.003.000 is not the final patch, but rather a base build to which improvements will be added later. Platforms supported include all major platforms: PS5, Xbox Series X, PC (Steam, Epic Games Store). For those worried about PC overruns, below is a comprehensive list of system requirements, compiled from several sources.
Beast of Reincarnation PC System Requirements
The game uses an engine optimized for the current generation of consoles, but on PC, the requirements are above average. Minimum settings require Windows 10, an Intel Core i7-10700K or AMD Ryzen 5 5500X, 24 GB of RAM, and an RTX 1070 TI / RX 5600 XT graphics card, plus 60 GB of SSD space. Recommended settings are more demanding: Windows 11, a Core i5-14600K / Ryzen 9 5900X, 32 GB of RAM, and an RTX 4060 / RX 6900 XT. Here’s a visual table to help you evaluate your computer in a couple of seconds:
Component Minimum Recommended
If your configuration exceeds the minimum but falls short of the recommended, don’t worry. The developers promise polished graphics settings, so you can tweak the settings and find the right balance.
Where can I buy Beast of Reincarnation and what editions are available?
In addition to the standard version for $59.99, there’s a Deluxe Edition for $69.99—it includes exclusive skins for the main character, Ku (a brown Shiba Inu), the “Oni Hat” for Emma, the Big Dipper sword, 100,000 Amber, and base saplings. Pre-ordering any edition gives you a bonus: 30,000 Amber and a temporary XP boost. Where can I pre-order? Directly from the PlayStation Store, Xbox Store, or Steam—prices are the same everywhere, but Steam may offer a regional discount, so we recommend doing some research.
Bottom line: If you’ve been waiting for this release, August 2nd is the date, and August 4th is the time to jump into battle. Download early, check the system requirements, and don’t forget about the Deluxe bonuses—they really make the start easier. The game promises to be extensive in content, so be prepared for a long immersion.
