A recent leak has revealed that Game Freak was developing a Pokemon party game codenamed Project Swallow, which has now been canceled. This title was reportedly inspired by the WarioWare series, known for its fast-paced, mini-game-based gameplay, and was intended for mobile platforms.
The leak comes in the wake of a massive data breach at Game Freak, which has exposed a significant amount of sensitive content, including source code from previous Pokemon titles such as Pokemon HeartGold, SoulSilver, Black 2, and White 2. Additionally, unfinished sprites and assets, personal details about Game Freak employees, and information about future projects, including the yet-to-be-released Generation 10 Pokemon games, were leaked.
Centro Leaks, a well-known source for Pokemon-related news, recently posted a series of clips on Twitter showing the canceled game. In these clips, players can see a few of the mini-games from Project Swallow, such as finding a Poliwag, grappling a Poke Ball, and a baseball-themed challenge. Despite the potential and intriguing concept behind this game, no explanation has been provided for its cancellation.
Additional Leaks: Gen 10 and Synapse Pokemon
In addition to Project Swallow, several other potential projects have surfaced due to the leak. Notably, Centro Leaks has hinted at Generation 10 games, possibly set in an archipelago resembling ancient Greece. This has sparked excitement and speculation within the Pokemon community about what this unique setting could entail.
Another major revelation is a multiplayer Pokemon game in development, tentatively titled Synapse Pokemon. According to the leaks, this game is being designed for both the Nintendo Switch and mobile platforms, with gameplay elements similar to Splatoon. Players would be able to ride Pokemon such as Garchomp, Samurott, and Electivire, with extensive avatar customization options also expected to be part of the experience.
A Word of Caution
As with any leaks, it’s important to remain cautious. While the breach has provided credible information, game development is a fluid process, and projects can change significantly or be canceled altogether, as seen with Project Swallow. Fans should keep an eye out for official announcements from Game Freak or The Pokemon Company for confirmation.
