Pokemon Legends: Z-A Release Date Leaked by Amazon

It appears that the potential release date for Pokemon Legends: Z-A might have been disclosed prematurely by Amazon UK, surprising many fans of the series. As of now, Nintendo Switch’s sequel to Pokemon Legends: Arceus is scheduled for a launch in 2025 according to official statements from Game Freak and Nintendo. Since its unveiling in January 2024, there has been no further information about Pokemon Legends: Z-A from either developer or publisher. Despite the silence, there have been numerous speculations and leaks surrounding the upcoming Pokemon game, with the latest hint coming from Amazon.

Initially, the UK division of the retailer had announced a specific launch date for the Nintendo Switch version of the Pokemon game, but later retracted this information. However, this temporary error suggested that the Pokemon game might debut in summer. Given various whispers, claims, and leaks from both reliable and dubious sources, the anticipated release of the Nintendo Switch 2 is expected to take place no later than spring or early summer, with many predicting March as the month. If Pokemon Legends: Z-A comes out after the Nintendo Switch 2, it’s likely that it will be compatible with both the current and upcoming Nintendo Switch models.

Amazon UK has announced that Pokemon Legends: Z-A will be launched on August 15, 2025. This unexpected release date has sparked conversation among fans, particularly on Reddit, as it’s unusual for Pokemon games to come out in August. Some fans find this timing peculiar because traditionally, Pokemon games are not released in August. However, it’s worth noting that the release date of its predecessor, Pokemon Legends: Arceus, also deviated from the norm by being launched in January.

One reason some Pokemon enthusiasts might find the potential release date of Pokemon Legends: Z-A surprising is that August 15, 2025 falls on a Friday. Typically, Fridays are when most significant video games hit the market. Yet, Nintendo tends to favor Thursday releases, which is the second most common day for major game launches. Interestingly, though Nintendo has occasionally chosen Thursday release dates, this hasn’t been the pattern with Pokemon titles. For instance, both Pokemon Legends: Arceus and Pokemon Scarlet and Violet, the latest significant Pokemon releases, were launched on a Friday instead.

It adds intrigue that the product listing for the game on Amazon Italy vanished around the same period. This might imply that Amazon is readying pages for pre-orders, hinting at an upcoming announcement of the release date. Some people had speculated we wouldn’t learn anything about Pokemon Legends: Z-A until February 27, which is known as Pokemon Day. However, events on Amazon seem to indicate it may surface before then.

The role of the Nintendo Switch 2 reappears here. If Pokemon Legends: Z-A turns out to be a game for the Nintendo Switch 2, as hinted by the leaked Amazon date, it might just make its debut at the anticipated Nintendo Switch 2 unveiling event. This event, according to rumors, is set to take place this month.

Regrettably, all we’ve got are rumors and leaked information. However, this recent Pokemon Legends: Z-A leak appears to be the most reliable one yet, excluding the details that surfaced after the Game Freak hack, which didn’t provide a release date either.

As of now, neither Amazon, Nintendo, nor Game Freak have spoken up regarding the rumored release date of Pokemon Legends: Z-A. It’s unlikely that this will alter in the near future, but should any information surface, we will promptly revise our story accordingly.
