The first teaser trailer for Netflix's Shadow and Bone has arrived, and IGN gave fans an exclusive inside look at the epic new fantasy series as part of IGN Fan Fest 2021. Shadow and Bone is based on author Leigh Bardugo's bestselling series of "Grishaverse" novels, which have sold more than 2.5 million copies worldwide to date. IGN exclusively revealed the first teaser trailer from the series as part of an in-depth panel and Q&A with Bardugo, showrunner Eric Heisserer, and cast members Jessie Mei Li, Ben Barnes, Archie Renaux, Freddy Carter, Amita Suman, and Kit Young, uniting the cast and producers for their first public interview about the show. Watch the cast and creators react to the Shadow and Bone teaser trailer and break down the biggest moments in the video below: [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2021/02/26/netflixs-shadow-and-bone-teaser-trailer-cast-reaction-and-breakdown-ign-fan-fest-2021"] Here's how Netflix describes the ambitious new series: "Shadow and Bone finds us in a war-torn world where lowly soldier and orphan Alina Starkov (Jessie Mei Li) has just unleashed an extraordinary power that could be the key to setting her country free. With the monstrous threat of the Shadow Fold looming, Alina is torn from everything she knows to train as part of an elite army of magical soldiers known as Grisha. But as she struggles to hone her power, she finds that allies and enemies can be one and the same and that nothing in this lavish world is what it seems. There are dangerous forces at play, including a crew of charismatic criminals, and it will take more than magic to survive." Shadow and Bone premieres April 23 on Netflix.

Gameplay of New Pokemon Snap has revealed new features, including tools, photo editing, and more. Shown during today's Pokemon Presents broadcast, the gameplay showed off the game's photo editing mode, which will allow you to alter, decorate and share your snaps. Photos can  rated by other players online, and even featured by the developers. [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2021/02/26/new-pokemon-snap-official-gameplay-trailer"] AI scoring for shots was shown to be rated on Pose, Size, Direction, Placement, Other Pokemon, and Background, awarding both a points score and a star rating. Photos will seemingly also be used to fill a Pokemon Photodex. There are also new tools in the shape of Illumina Orbs, items that can make Pokemon glow, and change their elemental effects – presumably for higher photo scores. We also see fruits being thrown, and melodies being played to elicit new gestures from Pokemon. The story of the game isn't totally clear, but we see the mythical Pokemon Celebi swoop by at the end of the new trailer. New Pokemon Snap will be released on April 30.

Game Freak has announced Pokemon Legends: Arceus, an open-world action-RPG Pokemon game set in the feudal past of the Sinnoh region (the location of Pokemon Diamond and Pearl). It will arrive in Early 2022 for Nintendo Switch. Announced during today's Pokemon Presents broadcast, gameplay showed a game world reminiscent of Breath of the Wild, covered in wild Pokemon to catch, and seemingly using some action mechanics for play. The aim is to create Sinnoh's first Pokedex, and includes exploration, Pokemon capture, and a version of the series' traditional turn-based battles. Check out a gameplay trailer below: [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2021/02/26/pokmon-legends-arceus-official-trailer"] The game aims to "break new ground" for the Pokemon series, and features Rowlet, Cyndaquil, or Oshawott as partner Pokemon. The game will centre around the mythical Pokemon Arceus, but no further story details were given. The player will travel out from the central Sinnoh Village to different areas of the region, using traditional Pokeballs to capture monsters. Ratehr than traditional capturing, however, the official website says you'll need to "observe them to learn their behavior, then carefully sneak up, aim your Poké Ball, and let fly!" It's not the only new Pokemon game set in Sinnoh - remakes of Pokemon Diamond and Pearl will be released in late 2021. [poilib element="accentDivider"] Joe Skrebels is IGN's Executive Editor of News.

Pokemon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl have been revealed. The games are 3D remakes of Pokemon's 2006 Nintendo DS entries, and are coming for Nintendo Switch. Announced during today's Pokemon Presents broadcast, these chibi-style remakes of Pokemon's generation 4 are planned for release in late 2021. [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2021/02/26/pokemon-brilliant-diamond-shining-pearl-official-trailer"] Pokemon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl are intended as "faithful remakes" of the original Diamond and Pearl. But instead of being made by the usual studio, Game Freak, they're being made by ILCA inc, which has also worked on games like Pokemon Home, and was a support studio for Nier Automata and Yakuza 0. The games will be directed by original Diamond and Pearl director Junichi Masuda, as well as ILCA's Yuichi Ueda. The remakes have been rumoured for some time. We awarded Pokemon Diamond and Pearl an 8.5/10 review back in 2006, saying that, "as long as you're comfortable with playing 'more of the same,' which -- let's be honest here -- is more of a really excellent and strategically deep handheld experience, then it's thumbs up for the DS version [of Pokemon]." Meanwhile, Game Freak is working on Pokemon Legends Arceus, a game also taking place in the Sinnoh region of Pokemon Diamond and Pearl, but many years in the past in a period stylized like feudal Japan.
