HORI is making another design available in its Switch Split Pad Pro line to tie in with the launch of Pokemon Legends: Arceus. In a couple of months, fans will be able to pick up a controller based on the game.

Here’s the official product description:

Hisuian Zorua and Zoroark

Following up on last week’s teases, The Pokemon Company and Game Freak have shared a proper look at Hisuian Zorua and Zoroark in Pokemon Legends: Arceus and provided additional information.

Here’s an overview of Hisuian Zorua and Zoroark:

Hisuian Zorua and Hisuian Zoroark

Hisuian Zorua and Hisuian Zoroark are joining Pokemon Legends: Arceus, it’s been revealed.

That news was just made known as part of a video shared by The Pokemon Company. Earlier in the week, we saw a mysterious teaser with blurred footage. That footage has since been restored, providing a proper look at the new Pokemon. It’s said that Hisuian Zoroark “seems scary” though “it also appears to be protective of Hisuian Zorua.”

The Pokemon Company just uploaded a new teaser video for Pokemon Legends: Arceus. In it, it shows that a researcher has made a rare discovery in the Canalave Library. It includes some mysterious footage that seems to document the landscape of the Hisui region.

Here’s a bunch of information about Pokemon Legends: Arceus:

pokemon legends arceus open world

There’s been a lot of talk surrounding Pokemon Legends: Arceus as of late and whether or not the game will be open world. When it was revealed many months ago, a number of people compared it to Zelda: Breath of the Wild. But more information has been shared in August and September, and after combing through all of the latest content, fans came to the conclusion that an open world probably wouldn’t be in the cards.

Based on new comments from The Pokemon Company, Pokemon Legends: Arceus will be less like Breath of the Wild and more comparable to Monster Hunter with no real open world. That’s because Jubilife Village is your base of operations, and you’ll then go to different open areas in Hisui after taking on tasks.

The full statement from The Pokemon Company reads:

Here’s the full rundown:

Kleavor is a Bug/Rock Pokemon, coming in at 5’11” and weighing 196.2 pounds. It’s able to evolve from Scyther due to special minerals located in Hisui. Parts of the creature’s body have hardened into stone, and these stone parts can chip during battle.
