Pokemon Legends: Z-A: August 2025 Release Date Rumor
A potential release date for Pokemon Legends: Z-A has surfaced online, pointing to 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, Pokemon Legends: Z-A is anticipated as a sequel to the 2022 hit, Pokemon Legends: Arceus. Following the open-ended exploration style of its predecessor, it's expected to forgo traditional gym battles and the Pokémon League. Since its announcement, official details have been scarce.
The Amazon UK listing, highlighted by content creator Light88, briefly showed the August 15th date before reverting to a December 31st placeholder. This August release date aligns with earlier predictions.
February 2025 Confirmation Possible
The legitimacy of this leaked date remains unconfirmed, but an official announcement is likely imminent. Similar to its initial reveal during Pokémon Day 2024, the game's release date might be unveiled during the 2025 Pokémon Day event, scheduled for February 27th (corroborated by recent findings in the Pokémon GO game files).
Beyond the release date, fans eagerly await a gameplay reveal, also potentially slated for the February 2025 Pokémon Presents broadcast.
Pokemon Legends: Z-A will launch on 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, Pokemon Legends: Arceus only received a single free post-launch update, "Daybreak."
