Pokemon Legends: Z-A – futuristic Lumiose City and new combat system

Release date: October 16, 2025

Lumiose City calls

Following the success of Arceus, Game Freak follows up with another open-world experiment. This time, we're heading to the futuristic Lumiose City – the place we know from Pokemon X/Y, but now it's got a whole new look. This isn't just another routine trip from city to city. Instead, players get the freedom to explore and find out for themselves what's lurking in the alleys and outskirts.

Pokemon Evolution

Legends: Z-A is intended to be the next step towards a true RPG. Fighting, exploring, and bonding with Pokémon are gonna be more intertwined, and the world will be more alive, reacting to what the player does. Instead of a linear storyline, we will have many paths leading to the discovery of the city's mysteries. Fans are hoping that Z-A will show what the series could look like in a modern version with dynamic combat – but what will come of it? We'll see!
