Private Division Partners with Game Freak

Private Division announced a partnership with Game Freak for an action-adventure game.

Very little is known about Project Bloom, but it’s expected to launch sometime during the 2026 fiscal year.

While we will need to wait for more details, various representatives from both companies offered some insight into this unexpected partnership.

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.
