Here is an overview of the game:
In Pokemon Legends: Arceus, the Pokemon series takes a bold new direction, fusing action with RPG elements. The game takes place in the Sinnoh region of the past, long before the events of Pokemon Diamond Version and Pokemon Pearl Version. As the game’s protagonist, the player will set out to create and complete the region’s first Pokedex by catching, surveying, and researching the wild Pokemon that live there.
The cover art, revealed here for the first time, depicts Mount Coronet towering over the expanse of a bygone Sinnoh region—the setting for the story in Pokemon Legends: Arceus.

Weird that they didn't wait for the E3 Direct to announce the release date. They really need to show more footage of this, after all the corner cutting of Sw/Sh I need to see whether this is going the same way or not.
They generally have their own "presents" few days before E3 just to be independent from Nintendo's Direct. They will be showing some stuff in the coming weeks especially when the last thing they have shown was extremely rough and the game was more expected to be delayed rather than getting a confirmed release date.
Oof, sounds too early based on the last footage we saw.
It looked very much in pre-alpha stage with a bad framerate as well. Hopefully they'll have another presentation within the coming months showing a much more polished product.
this could be the reason why im buying a switch! not fcken remakes of diamond and pearl which looks like utter garbage.
Based on what we've seen from this trailer so far, I'd say Diamond and Pearl look much better than this!
