Game Freak Announces New Venture with Take-Two Interactive: 'Project Bloom'



Game Freak, the developer behind the Pokémon franchise, has partnered with Western publisher Take-Two Interactive to create a new action-adventure game, Project Bloom. The game will be published under Take Two's Private Division label and promises a "bold and tonally different" experience compared to Game Freak's previous titles.

Concept artwork for Project Bloom, illustrated by Kazuma Koda, a renowned artist known for his work on games like Nier: Automata, Bayonetta 2, Pokémon: Let’s Go, Pikachu!, and Fire Emblem: Three Houses, has been released. The image depicts a lone warrior in a swampy forest, dressed in traditional Japanese attire and wielding a sword. Surrounding the warrior is a flurry of spores or fireflies, possibly alluding to the project's name.

Scheduled for release during Take-Two Interactive's 2026 fiscal year, running from April 1, 2025 to March 31, 2026, Project Bloom is eagerly anticipated.

Kota Furushima, director at Game Freak, expressed excitement about the collaboration, stating, "From the beginning, Private Division was the publisher we wanted to work with on our new game. Their track record and global expertise give us all the confidence to create a sweeping new action-adventure game that we can't wait to share more about in the future."

Michael Worosz, chief strategy officer at Take-Two Interactive and head of Private Division, also shared his enthusiasm for the partnership, saying, "We're honored to be the first Western publisher to work alongside this exceptionally talented and proven team to bring a bold new IP to market."

Game Freak is renowned for developing numerous Pokémon games for The Pokémon Company and Nintendo over the past three decades. The developer has also collaborated with Nintendo and other publishers on original titles like Drill Dozer, HarmoKnight, Tembo the Badass Elephant, and Pocket Card Jockey.

Established in 2017, Private Division has published games such as The Outer Worlds, Kerbal Space Program 2, OlliOlli World, Rollerdrome, and Hades, working with various developers. In 2022, the publisher announced collaborations with studios Die Gute Fabrik, Evening Star, Piccolo Studio, and Yellow Brick Games, as well as a partnership with Wētā Workshop on a new Lord of the Rings game set in Middle-earth.

Dell XPS 15 (2023) Review - Refreshed Performance in a Familiar Design

  The 2023 Dell XPS 15 (model number 9530) continues to offer the same physical design that we've seen for the past four years, but now features upgraded Intel 13th generation CPUs and Nvidia RTX 4000 series GPUs. Despite the familiar chassis, there are some important updates to consider, including two display options - Full HD Plus matte IPS and 3.5K resolution OLED panel - both with a 16:10 aspect ratio. The Dell XPS 15 has two Thunderbolt 4 ports, a USB-C port, a headphone jack, and a full-size SD card slot. It comes with a 720p webcam, Windows Hello IR camera, and an Intel AX211 Wi-Fi 6 card (limited to Wi-Fi 6 due to antenna design). The keyboard has a low travel distance of 1.3mm, and the trackpad is large and precise. Under the hood, the XPS 15 offers Intel 13th generation H-series processors (Core i5, i7, and i9 options) and Nvidia RTX GPUs (4050, 4060, or 4070). It's worth noting that these GPUs are limited to 40W with a boost to 50W, making them less powerful than the...

Harnessing Power: DPU vs CPU in the Modern Computing Landscape

 Unraveling the Mystery: What are DPUs and CPUs? Understanding the CPU In the realm of computing, the Central Processing Unit (CPU) plays a significant role. Often referred to as the brain of the computer, the CPU is responsible for executing the instructions of a computer program. It performs basic arithmetic, logical, control, and input/output (I/O) operations specified by the instructions. The speed and performance of a CPU are key factors that affect the overall performance of a computing system. Enter the DPU On the other hand, the Data Processing Unit (DPU), a relatively new player in the computing field, offloads and accelerates the data processing tasks that would otherwise occupy the CPU. A DPU typically includes a network interface, a high-performance processing unit, and memory resources. It is designed to process data more efficiently and faster, thereby freeing up CPU resources for other tasks. The Era of Data and the Rise of the DPU In an era where data is king, the D...
