Japanese gaming giant Nintendo has finally revealed the first new Pokemon games coming to its popular Switch gaming console (Pokken Tournament doesn’t count as it came out on Wii U first) — and one’s available to download for free right now. The video game company announced the three new Switch titles at a press event in Tokyo, and all of them are coming in 2018.

Developed by series-creator Game Freak, Quest’s described as a “rambunctious action RPG” and its blocky low-fi graphics are somewhat akin to mobile hit Crossy Road… so it’s perhaps no surprise that the game is scheduled to be released on both Android and iOS at the end of June this year.

Pokémon Quest is already available on the Switch’s eShop digital store. It’s being described as a ‘free-to-start’ game, with a range of optional DLC packs that provide in-game items and power-ups.
