The February 2025 Pokémon Presents showcase unveiled both a Pokémon Legends Z-A gameplay trailer and its Late 2025 release window. It’s not the instant shadow drop we’d all love, but Pokémon Legends Z-A will be here before you know it.
The Pokémon community has been waiting with baited breath for fresh news on Pokémon Legends Z-A. Our prayers were answered during the February 27 Pokémon Presents stream. A ton of cool Pokémon news was shown off to the world—including news of the Pokémon Pocket Triumphant Light set—but its finale topped the lot.
We learned a lot about Pokémon Legends Z-A and what to expect from the Arceus sequel.
Pokémon Legends Z-A Late 2025 Release Window Announced

Pokémon Legends Z-A is arriving at some point in “Late 2025.” Unfortunately, The Pokémon Company can’t be any more exact for the time being, but knowing it debuts this year is a huge positive.
Moreover, November is a common release window for many Pokémon titles, so we could see Pokémon Legends Z-A drop around then.
It features a vibrant open world, a classic Pokémon starter choice, a fuller world than Arceus, and real-time Pokémon catching and Trainer battling. It looks to innovate greatly over its predecessor—which is already considered one of the greatest Pokémon titles of our generation.
Common complaints about Pokemon Legends Arceus is that it was too quiet and barren. Whereas Legends Z-A looks open but dense, and had a lot more to do this time around.
You can check out the full extended trailer here which is sure to whet your whistle and warm up those Poké Ball throwing hands.
