Pokémon Legends: Z-A – Potential August 2025 Release Date Surfaces
Rumors of a Pokémon Legends: Z-A release date have emerged, pointing towards an August 15, 2025 launch. This purported date, initially spotted on Amazon UK in early January 2025 and swiftly removed, aligns with The Pokémon Company's previously stated 2025 release window.
Initially unveiled during the February 2024 Pokémon Day celebrations, Pokémon Legends: Z-A is anticipated as a sequel to the 2022 title, Pokémon Legends: Arceus. The upcoming game is expected to maintain the exploration-focused gameplay of its predecessor, prioritizing open-ended gameplay and collection over traditional gym battles and the Pokémon League. Since its announcement, official details have been scarce.
The Amazon UK listing, noted by content creator Light88, briefly displayed an August 15th release date before reverting to a December 31st placeholder. This leaked date, while unconfirmed, adds weight to speculation surrounding the game's imminent arrival.
February 2025 Confirmation Possible
The official Pokémon Legends: Z-A release date may be revealed sooner than expected. Similar to its initial announcement during Pokémon Day 2024, the release date could be unveiled during the 2025 Pokémon Day event, scheduled for February 27th, according to recent data mining of the Pokémon GO game files.
Beyond the release date, fans eagerly anticipate a gameplay reveal, which could also debut during the February 2025 Pokémon Presents broadcast.
Switch and Switch 2 Compatibility Confirmed
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 unknown, considering the single free DLC update for Pokémon Legends: Arceus, expectations may be tempered.
