New Pokémon Legends: Z-A Release Date Emerges

Pokémon Legends: Z-A: August 15, 2025 Release Date Leak

Rumors suggest Pokémon Legends: Z-A may launch on August 15, 2025, following a leaked listing on 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, Pokémon Legends: Z-A is a highly anticipated sequel to 2022's Pokémon Legends: Arceus. Like its predecessor, it prioritizes exploration and collection over traditional gym battles and the Pokémon League. Since its announcement, details have been scarce.

The August 15th release date surfaced via a brief update on the Amazon UK product page, as reported by content creator Light88. The listing was quickly amended to the standard placeholder date of December 31st.

February 2025 Confirmation Possible

The leaked date's accuracy remains unconfirmed, but an official announcement is likely imminent. Similar to its initial reveal during Pokémon Day 2024, the release date could be unveiled during the 2025 event on February 27th – the anniversary of the original Japanese release of Pokémon Red and Green. This date has been corroborated by datamining evidence within the latest Pokémon GO update.

Beyond the release date, fans eagerly await a gameplay reveal, potentially debuting at the same February 2025 event.

Pokémon 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 past mainline Pokémon games have featured paid DLC, Pokémon Legends: Arceus only received one free post-launch update, "Daybreak."
