Pokémon Legends: Z-A release date announced with Switch 2 upgrades
Nintendo has revealed the release date for the next major Pokémon game, which will be preceded by a Pokémon Presents showcase. The Nintendo Switch 2 launch is just around the corner, but there are several games slated for this year which still don't have release dates. Some of these are Switch 2 exclusives, like Kirby Air Riders and Hyrule Warriors: Age Of Imprisonment, but we also don't have dates for several cross-gen titles, including Metroid Prime 4: Beyond. While these might be revealed during the rumoured Nintendo Direct for next month, Nintendo has just randomly announced when we can expect to play one upcoming cross-gen game. After being previously slated for autumn this year, Pokémon Legends: Z-A, the sequel to Pokémon Legends: Arceus, will launch on October 16, 2025 across Nintendo Switch and Nintendo Switch 2. Along with sharing the game's cover art, Nintendo confirmed the Switch 2 Edition will have improved graphics and frame rates. If you purchase the physical or digital version of Pokémon Legends: Z-A for the original Switch, you can buy an upgrade pack to the Switch 2 Edition. A price for this upgrade pack is yet to be announced, but it will likely line up with the upgrade price for the Zelda: Breath Of The Wild and Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom Switch 2 Editions, which both cost £7.99. There are more expensive £16.99 upgrade packs for Super Mario Party Jamboree and Kirby And The Forgotten Land, but these come with extra modes. More Trending Along with the release date, a Pokémon Presents showcase has also been announced for July 22, 2025, where we will presumably see more from the sequel, and other upcoming games like Pokémon Champions. Nintendo traditionally releases a big game in November every year, so this October date for Pokémon Legends: Z-A suggests the company could have a secret game up its sleeve – unless Metroid Prime 4: Beyond or Hyrule Warriors Age Of Imprisonment end up taking the Christmas slot. Pokémon Legends: Z-A takes place in the Paris-inspired Lumiose City, a setting previously seen in Pokémon X and Y. Along with bringing back mega evolutions, it has a revamped real-time combat system where Pokémon can move around and dodge attacks.

Pokémon Legends: Z-A arrives October 16
Pokémon Legends: Z-A , the follow-up to 2022's Pokémon Legends: Arceus , now has a release date of October 16. Along with the release date announcement, The Pokémon Company also confirmed that a new Pokémon Presents presentation will broadcast on July 22. Presumably we'll see more of the monsters we're going to be catching and battling with in Lumiose City, including the Mega-Evolved Pokémon featured on the newly revealed box art. The last Pokémon Presents took place back in February and showcased the three starter pokémon in Z-A , as well as the new real-time combat system. Pokémon Legends: Z-A will launch on both the outgoing Nintendo Switch and its successor, with Pokémon Legends: Z-A – Nintendo Switch 2 Edition featuring "improved graphics and frame rates". You'll be able to upgrade to the Nintendo Switch 2 Edition by purchasing a $10 upgrade pack on the Nintendo eShop or My Nintendo Store. An October release date for Pokémon Legends: Z-A means it's unlikely that we'll see Metroid Prime 4 in the same month, as Nintendo traditionally likes to spread out its first-party releases. Donkey Kong Bananza arrives on July 17, but beyond that we don't know a whole lot about what else Nintendo has planned for the remainder of the year. As reported by VGC , a new Nintendo Direct presentation could happen in June, where the company would likely fill in the blanks regarding its plans for what's left of 2025.
