Pokémon Legends: Z-A, the follow-up to 2022’s Pokémon Legends: Arceus,
now has a release date of October 16.

Along with the release date announcement, The Pokémon Company also confirmed
that a new Pokémon Presents presentation will broadcast on July 22.
Presumably we'll see more of the monsters weΓÇÖre going to be catching and
battling with in Lumiose City, including the Mega-Evolved Pokémon featured
on the newly revealed box art. The last Pokémon Presents took place back in
February and showcased the three starter pokémon in Z-A, as well as the new
real-time combat system.

Pokémon Legends: Z-A will launch on both the outgoing Nintendo Switch and
its successor, with Pokémon Legends: Z-A – Nintendo Switch 2 Edition
featuring "improved graphics and frame rates". YouΓÇÖll be able to upgrade to
the Nintendo Switch 2 Edition by purchasing a $10 upgrade pack on the
Nintendo eShop or My Nintendo Store.

An October release date for Pokémon Legends: Z-A means it’s unlikely that
weΓÇÖll see Metroid Prime 4 in the same month, as Nintendo traditionally
likes to spread out its first-party releases. Donkey Kong Bananza arrives on
July 17, but beyond that we donΓÇÖt know a whole lot about what else Nintendo
has planned for the remainder of the year. As reported by VGC, a new Nintendo
Direct presentation could happen in June, where the company would likely fill
in the blanks regarding its plans for whatΓÇÖs left of 2025.
