Leaked: Potential 'Pokémon Legends: Z-A' Release Date Emerges

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

A potential release date for Pokémon Legends: Z-A has surfaced online, pointing towards 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 sequel to the 2022 hit, Pokémon Legends: Arceus. Following the exploration-focused gameplay of its predecessor, which prioritized collecting over traditional gym battles and the Pokémon League, details on Pokémon Legends: Z-A have been scarce since its announcement.

The Amazon UK listing leak, highlighted by content creator Light88, briefly displayed August 15th as the release date before reverting to a December 31st placeholder. Given the game's 2025 announcement, the August date fits the expected timeframe.

February 2025 Confirmation Possible

Whether the leaked date is accurate remains to be seen. However, the official release date could be revealed soon. Similar to its initial announcement during Pokémon Day 2024, the release date might be unveiled during the 2025 event, scheduled for February 27th – the anniversary of the original Japanese Pokémon Red and Green releases. Recent findings from a Pokémon GO datamine support this February 27th date.

Beyond the release date, fans eagerly anticipate a gameplay reveal, which could also debut during the 2025 Pokémon Presents broadcast.

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