The Pokemon Legends: ZA release date may have leaked. Unlike most of the recent Pokemon leaks, this one doesn’t come from Game Freak data breachbut a well-known Pokemon leaker.

Officially, the game is slated for release sometime in 2025, or at least that’s what the latest communication from Game Freak and Nintendo conveys. When in 2025 is the question, but we may have a narrower window thanks to the aforementioned leaker.

According to Riddler KhuPokemon Legends: ZA is slated for release sometime between April 2025 and July 2025. If true, that’s a different window than its predecessor, Pokemon Legends: Arceus, which was released in January 2022.

That said, the leaker notes that the aforementioned Game Freak hack could end up delaying the game, which is a real possibility as it has undoubtedly disrupted proceedings at Game Freak.

Previously, the Game Freak hack revealed that – at one point – Nintendo and Game Freak were aims to release Pokemon Legends: ZA in 2024. What went wrong we don’t know, but apparently this plan was changed quite early in development. What this may indicate, however, is an earlier version in 2025. For this purpose, the April to July window may make sense then. It’s impossible to say whether this points to it being accurate or just an educated guess.

All that said, take everything here with a grain of salt. This is not official news or even a new leak from the Game Freak hack. It’s a rumor, laced with some speculation stemming from information in the Game Freak hack.

At the time of publication, neither Nintendo nor The Pokemon Company nor Game Freak have commented on this latest Pokemon Legends: ZA rumor in any capacity. We don’t suspect this will change for various reasons, but if it does, we’ll update the story accordingly.
