Pokémon Legends: Z-A – August 15th, 2025 Release Date Leak and February 2025 Confirmation Speculation

Rumors suggest Pokémon Legends: Z-A may launch on August 15th, 2025, a date reportedly leaked by Amazon UK in early January 2025. This 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 2022's Pokémon Legends: Arceus. The game, like its predecessor, is expected to prioritize exploration and collection over traditional gym battles and the Pokémon League. Since its announcement, official details have been scarce.

The Amazon UK listing briefly displaying the August 15th date, quickly retracted, has fueled speculation. This leak, noted by content creator Light88, adds weight to the possibility of an imminent release.

February 2025 Pokémon Day: A Potential Reveal?

The official release date might be unveiled during the 2025 Pokémon Day event, scheduled for February 27th, coinciding with the anniversary of the original Pokémon Red and Green releases in Japan. Evidence from a recent Pokémon GO data mine supports this February 27th date.

Beyond the release date, fans eagerly await a gameplay reveal, another potential highlight of the Pokémon Day 2025 presentation.

Pokémon Legends: Z-A, initially confirmed as a Nintendo Switch exclusive, 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 a single free post-launch update, "Daybreak."
