The latest addition to the beloved Pokémon franchise is gearing up for release, and fans couldn’t be more thrilled. Following the success of Pokémon Legends: Arceus in 2022, Nintendo and The Pokémon Company have announced the much-anticipated sequel: Pokémon Legends: Z-A. Scheduled to launch on the Nintendo Switch in 2025, this installment is expected to be one of the console’s grand finales before Nintendo rolls out its next-gen platform.
For enthusiasts eager to embark on another Pokémon adventure, this game marks a return to the Kalos region, a place players haven’t revisited since Pokémon X and Y debuted in 2013. There’s been a hush surrounding this project since its announcement back in February, but that hasn’t dampened the enthusiasm. The Pokémon community is buzzing with anticipation about what Game Freak and The Pokémon Company have in store. If recent buzz is any indication, it won’t be long before more details emerge.
Recent “Gigaleaks” involving Nintendo have whetted fans’ appetites, and in October, the Pokémon series was hit with a similar data breach. While some leaks concerned older games, fresh intel pointed to upcoming titles. Although this latest leak seems separate, it dropped some exciting hints about Pokémon Legends: Z-A, suggesting a new trailer might be revealed even before Pokémon Day. This annual celebration falls on February 27, commemorating the initial release of Pokémon Red and Green, and it seems likely the new game could make its comeback just ahead of it.
If the rumor mill is correct—bearing in mind these reports should be taken with skepticism—Pokémon enthusiasts might get a double dose of Legends: Z-A content. Historically, The Pokémon Company has used Pokémon Day to unveil fresh content, hosting livestreams that showcase new developments. Given that Legends: Z-A seems to be 2025’s flagship project, it only makes sense for a shiny new trailer to be part of the celebration.
Now, if a preview does drop before Pokémon Day, fans are in for a treat with two sneak peeks of the game within a few months. Ever since the initial announcement trailer in February, there’s been little to go on, so a couple of new trailers would surely rekindle the community’s excitement. Plus, with this being among the last significant releases before Nintendo’s next console captures the spotlight, it gives gamers plenty to be excited about.
It remains uncertain how detailed these previews will be. The leaks haven’t offered extensive insights into what these trailers might reveal. It’s reasonable to assume they won’t cover everything since Game Freak and The Pokémon Company would likely reserve more comprehensive coverage for their Pokémon Day broadcast.
Nonetheless, the possibility of two new trailers over the coming months is thrilling news for fans who have been waiting with bated breath for updates on the Legends: Arceus sequel. Regardless of when these trailers arrive, Pokémon Legends: Z-A is shaping up to be one of the most anticipated titles of 2025, and whenever The Pokémon Company unveils it, it’s bound to make waves.
