Game Freak’s Pokemon Sword and Shield are out for the Nintendo Switch in November of this year, but that’s not the only Switch exclusive that they’ve got lined up. In September of last year during a particularly packed Nintendo Direct, Game Freak announced Town, a new IP which is a turn-based RPG.

When Town was announced, it was also confirmed that its official name hadn’t been finalized, and that Town was merely a tentative title. Now, we might know what the game will end up being called when it launches (whenever that happens). As Japanese Nintendo reports, Game Freak have filed a trademark application in Japan for something called “Little Town Hero”– and it’s really not that hard to connect the dots here.

When it was announced last year, Game Freak claimed that Town would be out for the Switch in 2019, but there’s been absolutely zero updates on the game since then, so it seems unlikely that they’ll be able to stick to that date. Either way, if they’ve come up with a final name, that’s at least some kind of a development- so at least we know the project is moving further in development.

Shin Megami Tensei 5

As the first Shin Megami Tensei title exclusive to the Nintendo Switch, Shin Megami Tensei 5 will focus on contemporary issues like unemployment, terrorism and so on. Its gameplay will still feature demons but there’s also the post-apocalyptic twist, as the recent trailer showcased Tokyo in ruins. Shin Megami Tensei 5 will take longer to develop than the previous handheld iterations thanks to Atlus taking advantage of the Switch’s hardware so here’s hoping it’s worth the wait.

Game Freak may be hard at work on the upcoming Pokemon Let’s Go, Pikachu! and Let’s Go, Eevee!, not to mention Pokemon 8 for next year, but it sounds like they are also working on something else entirely. Something not Pokemon. Today, during the Nintendo Direct, Nintendo unveiled a brand new RPG from Game Freak, with the working title of Town (I really hope they change that name, it’s so generic), which will be coming to the Nintendo Switch in 2019.

The game looks utterly gorgeous, and really cute. It centres around a town (go figure), which is being invaded by monsters, and you need to protect it. For now, that’s all we know. No more news is known, and presumably won’t be, until it is shared at a later date. But it looks gorgeous, and I hope this is indicative of what can expect from Pokemon 8 too. It’s also just nice to see Game Freak do something ambitious that’s not Pokemon for a change.

Town launches in 2019.
