Take-Two’s Private Division and Game Freak Partnering on New IP Project Bloom

There is life beyond Pokémon, or at least there are more projects underway. That’s what we learned last night thanks to a tweet from the official account of Take-Two’s publishing division, Private Division, announcing its current partnership with the studio responsible for creating the Pokémon games, Game Freak.

The tweet only reports that both companies are working together on something called Project Bloom, a new IP of which we currently only know a concept art of what looks like a figure with a sword in a lush forest.

According to the same message, it is an action and adventure game. At the moment they have not revealed much else, so we will have to wait a bit to really know what can come out of this collaboration. In either case, the current estimate for launch is during the fiscal year 2026. In the web de Private Division They have released a statement on their official website where they add the following:

“We are thrilled to have the opportunity to create a new IP that is bold and tonally different from our previous work,” said Kota Furushima, Director of Game Freak. “From the very beginning, Private Division was the publisher we wanted to work with on our new game. Their track record and global experience gives us the confidence to create a smashing new action-adventure game that we can’t wait to share more about at the future.”

“In the last three decades, you’d be hard-pressed to find a studio that has released more iconic hits than Game Freak,” said Michael Worosz, Take-Two Interactive’s Director of Strategy and Head of Private Division. “We stand ready to help Game Freak unleash its potential and are honored to be the first Western publisher to work alongside this exceptionally talented and proven team to bring a bold new IP to market.”
