Private Division, a publishing label of Take-Two Interactive, announced a new partnership with Game Freak for a new action-adventure IP.
The new IP — codenamed Project Bloom — is still early in development. Private Division plans to launch the title during Take-Two’s 2026 fiscal year but did not announce a specific release date. 2023’s fiscal year ended on March 31, 2023 and its earning report for the year will release on May 17, 2023.
Game Freak is best known for its work on the Pokémon franchise. The Japanese studio developed more than 30 entries in the best-selling franchise. Additionally, it holds a major stake in The Pokémon Company alongside Nintendo and Creatures, Inc.
The studio has also produced other titles including Pocket Card Jockey, Little Town Hero and Giga Wrecker. These titles were a result of the studio’s Project Gear initiative, which prioritized original game creation.
