Earlier this week, Fictions launched the brand new motion RPG from the builders of the Pokemon sport sequence, Beast of Reincarnation. Powered by Unreal Engine 5, it’s time now to benchmark it and look at its efficiency on PC.
For our benchmarks, I used an AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D, 32GB of DDR5 at 6000Mhz, AMD’s Radeon RX 6900XT, RX 7900XTX, RX 9070XT, in addition to NVIDIA’s RTX 2080Ti, RTX 3080, RTX 4090, RTX 5080, and RTX 5090. I additionally used Home windows 10 64-bit, in addition to the GeForce 610.88 and the Radeon Adrenalin Version 26.7.1 drivers.
GAME FREAKS has added a couple of graphics settings to tweak. PC players can alter the standard of Mesh, Shadows, Lighting, Textures, and extra. The sport additionally helps NVIDIA DLSS and AMD FSR 3.0. Nevertheless, there isn’t any assist for Body Gen or Intel XeSS.
Beast of Reincarnation doesn’t have a built-in benchmark device. So, for my checks, I used the village space. This gave the impression to be as demanding because the tutorial. It additionally has quite a few enemies, so it ought to stress each the CPU and the GPU.
Beast of Reincarnation largely makes use of six CPU cores/threads. At 1080p/Max Settings, it is usually bottlenecked by our CPU and never by our GPU. What’s attention-grabbing right here, although, is {that a} quad-core CPU can provide a relentless 60FPS expertise. That’s, after all, in case your CPU is of an analogous structure to the AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D. I did discover some traversal stutters on the quad-core system. Nevertheless, when utilizing a CPU with over 8 cores/threads, I didn’t expertise any main stutters. I don’t know if the additional cache of the 7950X3D does the trick, however traversal stutters are minimal on my PC system.
At 1080p/Max Settings, all of our GPUs are in a position to present a 60FPS expertise. Even our NVIDIA RTX 2080Ti manages to hit a mean of 73FPS. So, for gaming at 1080p, you gained’t want a high-end GPU.
At 1440p/Max Settings, our prime 5 GPUs had no hassle operating the sport with over 60FPS always. The NVIDIA RTX 3080 and AMD Radeon RX 6900XT can even present a clean gaming expertise, supplied you utilize a G-Sync or a FreeSync monitor.
Lastly, for gaming at Native 4K/Max Settings with 60FPS, you have to an NVIDIA RTX 5090 or an RTX 4090. The NVIDIA RTX 5080 can even present a clean expertise in case you use a G-Sync monitor.
Beast of Reincarnation has a Ray Tracing setting that supposedly improves lights and shadows. Nevertheless, I don’t actually see any visible distinction between RT On and RT Off.
Here’s a comparability screenshot. Even when zooming in, I can not discover any main variations. Efficiency additionally stays the identical, suggesting that both this Ray Tracing setting could also be damaged.
Graphics-wise, Beast of Reincarnation seems to be like an old-gen title. There are numerous pop-ins, and the lighting feels old-gen-ish. I’m virtually sure that the sport doesn’t absolutely use Nanite and Lumen. Not solely that, however there are A LOT of low-res textures, even on Max Settings. Severely, simply have a look at these textures. It’s no exaggeration to name them “PS3 textures.” I can’t consider a 2026 sport has textures that look this dangerous.
All in all, whereas Beast of Reincarnation can run easily on a variety of GPUs, it doesn’t look notably spectacular. This feels precisely like a UE4 sport in UE5. It’s sort of a bummer. However hey, not less than it runs nice. Properly, that’s in case you have a CPU with an structure just like that of an AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D. I’ve heard that the sport can have hassle with much less highly effective CPUs. Nevertheless, a modern-day CPU can run it with excessive framerates!
