Pokemon Legends: Arceus released to overwhelmingly positive reviews and fan adoration in early 2022. Unlike mainline Pokemon games, this title doesn’t require—or even allow—players to become the very best like no one ever was by battling their way through a series of gyms on a quest to conquer yet another trainer league. Instead, it immediately sets them loose in a huge open world with the task of completing the first Pokedex of the Hisui region, which is how Sinnoh from Pokemon Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum was called in the historical period before the discovery of the fourth generation of the iconic pocket monsters.
The game’s massive open world and exploration-focused gameplay loop ended up being such hits among the fandom that Arceus heavily influenced Pokemon Scarlet and Violet, the latest mainline Pokemon games which released a couple of weeks ago. Anyone looking for a change of pace from the traditional Pokemon RPG experience would do well to take advantage of this deal on Pokemon Legends: Arceus. Doubly so because Nintendo has been historically reluctant to discount its AAA catalog, and so this seminal game is unlikely to feature in a comparably attractive sale in the immediate future.
