Potential Release Date for Pokémon Legends: Z-A Leaks Online
Rumors suggest Pokémon Legends: Z-A may launch on August 15th, 2025, a date reportedly leaked by Amazon UK in early January 2025. This aligns with The Pokémon Company's previously stated 2025 release window for the game.
Initially announced during the February 2024 Pokémon Day celebrations, Pokémon Legends: Z-A is anticipated as a sequel to the 2022 title, Pokémon Legends: Arceus. Similar to its predecessor, it's expected to prioritize exploration and collection over traditional gym battles and the Pokémon League. Details about the game have remained scarce since its unveiling.
The recent Amazon UK listing briefly displaying the August 15th release date, quickly retracted to a placeholder date, fueled speculation. This leak, noted by content creator Light88, adds weight to the potential August release.
February 2025 Confirmation Possible
The official release date might be revealed sooner than expected. Considering the initial announcement during Pokémon Day 2024, a similar reveal during the 2025 event on February 27th (the anniversary of the original Japanese Pokémon Red and Green release) is plausible. Evidence supporting a February 27th Pokémon Day 2025 event has been found within the latest Pokémon GO game files by a data miner.
Beyond the release date, fans anticipate a gameplay reveal, possibly debuting at the same February 2025 event.
Platform and Post-Launch Content
Pokémon Legends: Z-A is confirmed for Nintendo Switch and will also be playable on the upcoming Switch 2, thanks to backward compatibility. While past mainline Pokémon games have featured paid DLC, Pokémon Legends: Arceus only received a single free post-launch update, "Daybreak." The extent of post-launch content for Pokémon Legends: Z-A remains unknown.
