Pokemon Legends: Arceus details have been released into the wild thanks to the Pokemon Presents presentation that took place on August 18th. With the release date announced, as well as a bunch of other details on the new entry, Takato Utsunomiya also informed us on how to preorder the game. With any preorder, you’ll also receive a nice little bonus as a thank you for being a dedicated fan.

In this article, we’ll break down where you can preorder Pokemon Legends: Arceus, the release date, and what that preorder will get you in-game. Let’s dive into it!

The Pokemon Legends: Arceus release date is actually much sooner than you might think with the game launching on January 28th 2022. This is just after the Holiday rush and could be the perfect game to sink to your teeth into after probably completing Brilliant Diamond or Shining Pearl.

Where to Preorder Pokemon Legends: Arceus

If you’re hyped for the Breath of the Wild-like Pokemon game and want to get your preorder in ASAP, you can do so right now.

You can preorder Pokemon Legends: Arceus in your usual retailers like Walmart, Best Buy, and Gamestop but we’d recommend preordering either via the Nintendo eShop if you want the digital version or Amazon if you want the physical option. This is because Amazon offers the ‘preorder price guarantee’ which ensures that if the price drops before release, you’ll get that lowest number.

If you do want to preorder via Amazon, you can do so below.

Pokemon Legends: Arceus Preorder Bonus

So, what do you get for preordering this open world entry into the Pokemon franchise? Well, it does differ where you preorder from as bonus gifts range from in-game items to physical assets. Let’s break them down.

The in-game costume on offer is called the Hisuian Growlithe Kimono Set and has slightly different variations whether your trainer is a boy or a girl. You can secure this preorder bonus no matter if you do so via a digital manner or if you want that physical copy in your hands.

If you preorder through the Nintendo eShop before May 9, 2022, you will receive a code for 30 Heavy Balls which can be used in-game. These Heavy Balls are essentially upgraded Poke Balls which are better for catching but can’t be thrown as far.

Last, but not least, is the physical preorder bonus – the Arceus Sitting Cuties Plush. If you want a new plush to add to your collection, you’ll have to preorder Pokemon Legends: Arceus via the Pokemon Center. The caveat is that this bonus available ‘while supplies last’ so best to secure your copy now.
