Pokemon Legends: Arceus Release Date Leak

Summary

• Pokémon Legends: Z-A may launch on August 15, 2025.
• This potential release date surfaced via an Amazon UK listing in early January 2025.
• Official confirmation of the Pokémon Legends: Z-A release date is anticipated during the Pokémon Presents broadcast on Pokémon Day 2025, expected February 27th.

A potential release date for Pokémon Legends: Z-A leaked online, suggesting an August 15, 2025 launch. This aligns with The Pokémon Company's previously stated release window.

Initially announced 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 reveal, official information has been scarce.

Despite the radio silence, a possible release date emerged from an Amazon UK listing. Content creator Light88 noted a brief appearance of August 15th as the release date on January 8th, quickly reverted to a placeholder date. The August 15th date, however, fits within the previously announced 2025 release window.

Pokémon Legends: Z-A Release Date: Potential February 2025 Confirmation

Regardless of the leaked date's accuracy, an official announcement is likely imminent. Similar to its initial announcement on Pokémon Day 2024, the release date could be revealed during the 2025 event on February 27th – the anniversary of the original Japanese Pokémon Red and Green releases. Recent findings by a dataminer analyzing the latest Pokémon GO build support a February 27th Pokémon Day 2025.

Beyond the release date, fans eagerly await a gameplay reveal, potentially debuting during the next 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 mainline Pokémon games often feature paid DLC, Pokémon Legends: Arceus only received one free post-launch update, "Daybreak."
