Pokémon Legends: Z-A – Potential August 2025 Release Date Surfaces
A potential release date for Pokémon Legends: Z-A has emerged, hinting at an August 15, 2025 launch. This date, initially spotted on Amazon UK in early January 2025 and quickly 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 successor to the exploration-focused Pokémon Legends: Arceus. Unlike previous mainline entries, Arceus prioritized open-world exploration and Pokémon collection over traditional gym battles and the Pokémon League. Since its announcement, official information on Z-A has been scarce.
The Amazon UK listing, observed by content creator Light88, briefly displayed the August 15th date before reverting to a December 31st placeholder. This leaked date, while unconfirmed, adds fuel to speculation surrounding the game's imminent arrival.
February 2025 Confirmation Possible?
The official release date may be revealed during the 2025 Pokémon Day event, scheduled for February 27th. This date coincides with the original Japanese release of Pokémon Red and Green. Recent findings from a Pokémon GO data miner further support this February 27th date for the Pokémon Day 2025 announcement.
Beyond the release date, fans eagerly await a gameplay reveal, potentially debuting at the same February event. Pokémon Legends: Z-A, initially confirmed as a Nintendo Switch exclusive, 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 a single free post-launch update, "Daybreak."
