Potential Release Date for Pokémon Legends: Z-A Surfaces
A leaked release date for Pokémon Legends: Z-A suggests a launch on August 15th, 2025. This information, initially appearing on Amazon UK in early January 2025, aligns with The Pokémon Company's previously stated 2025 release window. The listing was quickly removed, reverting to a placeholder date, but the leak has sparked considerable speculation.
Initially unveiled during the February 2024 Pokémon Day celebrations, Pokémon Legends: Z-A is anticipated as a sequel to 2022's Pokémon Legends: Arceus. Following the exploration-focused design of its predecessor, the game is expected to prioritize open-ended gameplay and creature collection over traditional elements like gym battles. Details remain scarce since the initial announcement.
February 2025 Confirmation Possible
The official release date may be revealed during the 2025 Pokémon Day event, scheduled for February 27th. This date coincides with the original Japanese release of Pokémon Red and Green. Evidence supporting this February 27th date has been found within the latest Pokémon GO game files by a data miner.
Beyond the release date, fans eagerly await a gameplay reveal, which could also debut during the Pokémon Day 2025 presentation.
Switch and Switch 2 Compatibility
Pokémon Legends: Z-A is confirmed for release on both the Nintendo Switch and the upcoming Switch 2, benefiting from the latter's backward compatibility. While the extent of post-launch content remains uncertain, considering the limited DLC for Pokémon Legends: Arceus, fans can anticipate further updates.
