It's been a long week in the video game world, and while massive news headlines didn't leap out every second of the day like they did last week, there's still a lot for Cameron and Anthony to talk about in Game Rant Arcade Episode 11. With Frogwares drama and an Elden Ring leak, there's a wide variety of topics to breakdown.
Kicking things off, The Pokemon Company made a number of major announcements during a recent live stream, debuting the much-anticipated Pokemon Diamond and Pearl remakes that fans have been clamoring for. On top of that, though, the team also revealed Pokemon Legends Arceus, an open-world game with a resemblance to Breath of the Wild.
There's a chance that those games will coincide with the Nintendo Switch Pro, which is reportedly debuting this year, according to Bloomberg's Jason Schreier. The upgraded console is said to boast 4K resolutions while docked and a 720p OLED screen, but price and a number of other details remain a mystery. It could very well land in time for Breath of the Wild 2, though, a fact that might push more people into picking one up.
On top of all that, Henry Cavill might be teasing involvement in some sort of Mass Effect project, but it isn't entirely clear. Frogwares is wrapped up in drama with publisher Nacon over The Sinking City, and an Elden Ring trailer leak has a lot of similarities to the Dark Souls franchise, leaving fans with more questions than answers about what the game will be.
