News broke Thursday morning that Pokemon Sword and Shield art director James Turner had left Game Freak to open a new studio, All Possible Futures, with The Swords of Ditto director Bidds. The news came as a shock to many who associated Turner with the design of new Pokemon going back through several past Pokemon generations. A bigger surprise was to follow, however, as Turner and All Possible Futures' first game, The Plucky Squire, was since announced during the Devolver Direct 2022 presentation.
