Pokémon Legends: Z-A – August 2025 Release Date Rumor
A potential release date for Pokémon Legends: Z-A has surfaced online, pointing towards an August 15, 2025 launch. This date, initially spotted on Amazon UK in early January 2025 and quickly removed, aligns with The Pokémon Company's previously stated 2025 release window.
The game, announced during the 2024 Pokémon Day celebrations, is a highly anticipated sequel to 2022's Pokémon Legends: Arceus. While details remain scarce since its initial reveal, the leaked date offers a concrete timeframe for this open-world, collection-focused adventure.
February 2025 Confirmation Possible
The official release date may be unveiled sooner than expected. Similar to its initial announcement during Pokémon Day 2024, the release date could be revealed during the 2025 Pokémon Day event, anticipated for February 27th. This date is supported by recent findings from a Pokémon GO dataminer.
Beyond the release date, fans eagerly await a gameplay reveal, which could also debut during the February 2025 Pokémon Presents broadcast.
Switch and Switch 2 Compatibility
Initially announced as a Nintendo Switch exclusive, Pokémon Legends: Z-A will also be playable on the upcoming Switch 2, thanks to confirmed backward compatibility. While the extent of post-launch content remains unknown, it's worth noting that Pokémon Legends: Arceus only received one free DLC update.
