Pokémon Legends: Arceus 1.0.1 Patch Notes
- Fixed some problems for a better gaming experience.
The day one update is short and sweet, according to the notes from Nintendo. The update could indicate several changes to the game from framerate updates, graphical improvements, or text changes. Version 1.0.1 of Pokémon Legends: Arceus is now live and ready to roll out in countries like Australia and Japan. People who have pre-loaded the game can kickstart the update by manually pressing “+” on the game’s window, then selecting “Software Update” and “Via the internet.”
Pokémon Legends: Arecus is the newest game from developers Game Freak and a drastic departure from the franchises’ mainline series. The game’s inclusion of open-ended exploration, newly introduced battle mechanics, and resource gathering/crafting are aspects not commonly seen in past Pokémon games. Early looks of the new game compared it to The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, but Nintendo disputed those comparisons likening it more to Monster Hunter for its gameplay mechanics.
The embargo that comes along with most new games prior to launch lifted a few days ago and brought a flood of rave reviews for Pokémon Legends: Arceus. Critics have praised Nintendo for departing from the traditional gameplay Pokémon has become known for, venturing into something new. If critical praise is anything to go by, the latest Pokémon title is sure to be a hit with gamers.
Don’t forget to make sure your download of Pokémon Legends: Arceus is ready to go with the new update before tomorrow.
