Rumors suggest Pokemon Legends: Z-A may launch on August 15th, 2025, following a leak from Amazon UK in early January 2025. This aligns with The Pokémon Company's previously stated 2025 release window. Official confirmation is anticipated during the Pokémon Day 2025 Pokémon Presents broadcast, expected on February 27th.
Initially unveiled during the February 2024 Pokémon Day celebrations, Pokemon Legends: Z-A is the highly anticipated sequel to 2022's Pokemon Legends: Arceus. While details remain scarce since its announcement, the August 15th date, briefly listed on the Amazon UK page before being removed, fuels speculation. This aligns with the game's projected 2025 release timeframe.
February 2025 Confirmation Possible
The February 27th Pokémon Day 2025 event is a likely candidate for an official release date announcement. This date coincides with the original Japanese release of Pokémon Red and Green, and a dataminer's findings in the latest Pokémon GO build support this prediction. Beyond the release date, fans eagerly await a gameplay reveal, potentially debuting at the same event.
Platform and Post-Launch Content
Pokemon Legends: Z-A will be released on the Nintendo Switch, and will also be playable on the upcoming Switch 2, thanks to confirmed backward compatibility. While the extent of post-launch content remains unclear, considering the limited DLC for Pokemon Legends: Arceus, expectations might be tempered.
