Team17 and Beehive Studios have released LumenTale: Memories of Trey on Nintendo Switch on 26 May 2026. The indie creature‑catching RPG aims to recapture the feel of early Pokémon generations, drawing particular comparisons with Generation IV and V era design.
The title arrives on the Nintendo eShop as part of a continuing wave of indie projects seeking to emulate the series' classic formula. Nintendo Life noted the game's throwback sensibilities, with mechanics and presentation that echo the pocket‑monster RPGs of the 2000s.
Beehive Studios' take blends nostalgia with new systems, positioning LumenTale among other recent indie releases that have stepped in while The Pokémon Company shows no immediate return to its earlier design approaches. The Switch release is digital via Nintendo's platform.
