Pokemon Legends: Z-A: August 2025 Release Date Leak
Rumors suggest Pokemon Legends: Z-A may launch on August 15th, 2025, a date initially spotted on Amazon UK in early January 2025 before being swiftly removed. This aligns with The Pokémon Company's previously stated 2025 release window.
Initially unveiled during the February 2024 Pokémon Day celebrations, Pokemon Legends: Z-A is the anticipated sequel to 2022's Pokemon Legends: Arceus. Following the open-world exploration style of its predecessor, it's expected to continue the focus on Pokémon collection, foregoing traditional gym battles and the Pokémon League. Since its announcement, official details have been scarce.
The Amazon UK listing briefly displaying the August 15th date, as noted by content creator Light88, fueled speculation. While quickly corrected to a December 31st placeholder, the leak aligns with the game's projected 2025 release.
February 2025 Confirmation Possible
The official release date could be revealed during Pokémon Day 2025, on February 27th – the anniversary of the original Pokémon Red and Green releases. Evidence from a recent Pokémon GO data mine supports this date. Beyond the release date, fans anticipate a gameplay reveal, potentially debuting at the same event.
Pokemon Legends: Z-A, initially confirmed as a Nintendo Switch exclusive, will also be playable on the upcoming Switch 2, thanks to backward compatibility. While past mainline Pokémon games have featured paid DLC, Pokemon Legends: Arceus only received a single free post-launch update, "Daybreak."
