Pokémon-Like RPG Temtem Comes to PS5 in 2021

Next-gen monster catching

by Robert Ramsey Thu 6th Aug 2020

Temtem, the Pokémon-inspired role-playing game that seemed to set the world on fire for about a week back when it launched on PC earlier this year, is heading to PlayStation 5 in 2021. The creature-based online adventure got a new trailer during the latest State of Play broadcast, and it continues to look like a pretty good time if you're a fan of turn based battles and collecting weird little monsters.

Will you be playing Temtem next year? Catch 'em all in the comments section below.

Robert (or Rob if you're lazy) is an assistant editor of Push Square, and has been a fan of PlayStation since the 90s, when Tekken 2 introduced him to the incredible world of video games. He still takes his fighting games seriously, but RPGs are his true passion. The Witcher, Persona, Dragon Quest, Mass Effect, Final Fantasy, Trails, Tales — he's played 'em all. A little too much, some might say.

I played it on PC early access. This will make everybody who wanted an open world Pokémon game very happy.

The MMO focus is the main thing stopping me from getting hyped for this. If the single player is decent enough when it releases, I might be interested.

It’s legitimately good in early access. If they pull together for the full release, I’m absolutely getting it on PS5. There’s more charm and innovation in Temtem than there’s been since Gen V.

I’m Having a hard time trying to get into Pokémon Sword and Shield. I think I need a break from these types of games.

Pokémon like is being very generous. Temtem is mega blocks to Pokemon's Lego.

Looks good and I'll definitely be picking it up, but there's something special about Pokémon that other games find hard to replicate.
