After years of silence, Beehive Studios released a new trailer for LumenTale - coming out 2025 for Steam and Switch. They're the developers behind Pokémon Xenoverse, so they already have the experience needed to create their own Monster Tamer RPG:
It really is HD-2D Gen V styled, with QOL from Legends Arceus, secret base building, TCG collecting, and overworld puzzles. All it needs is a Battle Frontier style endgame, and if this succeeds - combined with Palworld chipping a piece of Nintendo's armor - we might just see a Monster Taming renaissance like nothing else. It might also inspire other Pokemon fan-game creators to make their own IP as well, instead of leaving it as Pokémon and risk being Nintendo'd.
