In this article we collect all known information about the upcoming Nintendo Switch game for you!
Last update on February 26th: This week there is a new Pokémon Presents to match the Pokémon Day and we strongly assume that there will finally be new information about legends.
Pokémon legends ZA-release: When does the new Pokémon-RPG appear?
Pokémon legends: ZA should appear in 2025.So this year there will be no new Pokémon game for the Switch. A concrete release date for the new legend offshoot is not yet known.
For which platforms does Pokémon legends come?"For Nintendo Switch systems" it says in the official video description of the debut trailer of the new RPG. This means the standard nintendo Switch, the Switch Oled and the Switch Lite.
Many fans suspect that legends: ZA also as a launch game for the Nintendo Switch 2Could open because the new console rumors are to come onto the market in spring 2025. This is just speculation - but this is not completely excluded:
Pokémon-Legenden
The first trailer to legend: ZA can be seen here:
Gameplay material cannot yet be seen in the revelation trailer.
After all, the first Pokémonthat will appear in the upcoming RPG:
Who could be the starters of Pokémon legends ZA?
The question of the starter Pokémon is of course always particularly important for fans, but so far these are not yet officially known.
Just a rumor: About the insiderRiddler_Khu, who likes to share preliminary information on Pokémon in cryptic form, has now made a new post on X. It is about the starters, which are said to come from the 3rd, 5th and 8th generation. If you use this scheme that always plant, fire and then water comes, the following Pokémon could be the starter:
- Geckar residents
- Floink
- Honeymoon
Danger:Please enjoy the information with caution. Even if the leaker is known, none of the official side has been confirmed.@Riddler_KhuWrites that more information should follow soon. So it remains exciting.
Pokémon legends ZA - game world
In the first trailer we get a first taste of the game world, which is very futuristic this time - it goes back to the Kalos region, which we already know from Pokémon X and Y.
More precisely, we are looking after Illumina City, the huge metropolis in the center of the French region. Nintendo has already confirmed that we are in legends: ZA only in Illumina City:
This means that in legends: ZA probably no lush green forests, rough mountain landscapes and picturesque beaches. All nature lovers among you have to adjust to a purely urban setting, which is atypical for the series.
Pokémon legenden za - gameplay
According to The Pokémon Company, a "new adventure within Illumina City awaits us with the new Legends offshoot, where a restructuring plan of the city is in the works, which should design the metropolis for humans and Pokémon alike".
How this takes place in concrete terms is unclear.The gameplay renovations that are waiting in direct comparison to legends: Arceus are not yet known.
As expected, there should be little change in the basic principle:Since a new legend game awaits us here, it can be assumed that as already in Arceus, the focus will be on exploring the Open World of Illumina and the collection of Pokémon.
So the predecessor plays:In Arceus we delight the extensive areas of the feudal Sinnoh region. The starting point is always our base Jubeldorf.
The focus of the game is clearly on exploring and collecting, less on fight: Because our goal is not to become a Pokémon master, but to complete the Pokédex by catching the monsters several times and thus researching. The camera is freely movable and we have to study the behaviors of the Pokémon in order to capture them.
Are you looking forward to the new Pokémon?
