Publisher Fictions released patch v1.0.7 / v1.005.000 for Game Freak's action RPG Beast of Reincarnation on August 10, 2026. The update addresses feedback gathered during the game's first week on sale, which saw Steam user reviews settle at a 'Mixed' rating with roughly 54% positive out of about 2,850 reviews as of August 10. Key changes include camera adjustments during and outside combat, larger text size, and a change to the default cutscene setting from cinematic to performance mode, which removes the 24fps playback by default. Combat tweaks adjust Emma's parry timing when taking damage, reducing consecutive hits, and rebalance bosses across all difficulty levels along with normal mode enemies. Bug fixes include making the sixth golem in the No. 1 Underground Residential Area easier to find, fixing an issue where Emma could not interact if a bloom skill was canceled, and resolving problems with upscaling settings resetting on restart and vertical sync affecting resolution. The patch notes also mention future plans for DLSS 4/4.5 (L/M) and FSR4 implementation, plus further story pacing adjustments. The game is available on PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Steam and Microsoft Store, with Game Pass support.
The update follows a promise made by Game Freak on August 5 via official X, stating a patch would arrive within a week. The developer's comment in the patch notes thanks players for their first-week feedback and pledges continued fixes based on ongoing input. The camera adjustment is not yet a full field-of-view setting option, but an initial tweak, with further adjustments planned. Text size improvements are also set to continue.
Combat changes include adjusting Emma's parry window when taking damage, which should reduce instances of consecutive hits. Boss balance was adjusted on all difficulties, and normal mode saw tweaks to regular enemies. The patch also fixes an issue where assigning the interact button to the square or X button could prevent talking to Kagura during a story event, prioritizing the 'Rest until morning' option instead.
Future patches are planned to include DLSS 4/4.5 (L/M) and FSR4 frame generation, addressing graphical complaints. The game's Steam reviews remain 'Mixed' as of August 10, with about 54% positive out of roughly 2,850 reviews, according to Game Spark. The review by Game Spark noted the lack of a minimap, photo mode, and limited enemy variety as ongoing concerns, but praised the story and the 'one person and one dog' concept.
