Pokémon Legends: Z-A Release Date Surfaces

Pokémon Legends: Z-A's 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, aligns with The Pokémon Company's previously stated 2025 release window.

Announced during the February 2024 Pokémon Day celebrations, Pokémon Legends: Z-A is anticipated as a sequel to the exploration-focused Pokémon Legends: Arceus (2022). Unlike previous entries, Arceus prioritized open-ended gameplay and collecting over traditional gym battles and the Pokémon League. Since its reveal, official details about Z-A have been scarce.

The Amazon UK listing, quickly amended to a placeholder December 31 date, fueled speculation. This leak, noted by content creator Light88, suggests a concrete release timeframe.

February 2025 Confirmation Possible

The actual release date might be officially unveiled sooner than expected. Given the initial announcement during Pokémon Day 2024, a similar reveal during the 2025 event (February 27th) is highly probable. Data mining of the latest Pokémon GO build corroborates this February 27th date for Pokémon Day 2025.

Beyond the release date, fans eagerly await a gameplay reveal, potentially also showcased during the Pokémon Day 2025 presentation.

Pokémon Legends: Z-A is confirmed for Nintendo Switch, and will also be playable on the upcoming Switch 2, thanks to the console's backward compatibility. While past mainline Pokémon games often featured paid DLC, Pokémon Legends: Arceus only received one free post-launch update, "Daybreak."
