Potential Pokemon Legends: Z-A Release Date Leaks Online

Potential Release Date for Pokémon Legends: Z-A Leaks Online

Rumors suggest Pokémon Legends: Z-A may launch on August 15th, 2025, following a leak from Amazon UK in early January 2025. This aligns with The Pokémon Company's previously stated 2025 release window.

Initially unveiled during the 2024 Pokémon Day celebrations, Pokémon Legends: Z-A is anticipated as a sequel to the exploration-focused Pokémon Legends: Arceus (2022). Unlike previous entries, Arceus prioritized open-world exploration and collection over traditional gym battles and the Pokémon League. Details about Pokémon Legends: Z-A remain scarce since its announcement.

The August 15th date emerged from a temporary listing on the Amazon UK website, quickly corrected to a December 31st placeholder. Content creator Light88 was among those who noticed the discrepancy.

February 2025 Confirmation Possible

The legitimacy of the leaked date aside, 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, scheduled for February 27th (the anniversary of the original Pokémon Red and Green releases). This date has been corroborated by evidence found within a recent Pokémon GO update by a dataminer.

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

Pokémon Legends: Z-A will be playable on both the Nintendo Switch and the upcoming Switch 2, benefiting from backward compatibility. While past mainline Pokémon titles have featured paid DLC, Pokémon Legends: Arceus only received one free post-launch update, "Daybreak."
