Pokemon Legends Z-A: Everything we know so far about the upcoming Nintendo game

Pokemon Legends Z-A is fast approaching, with the October release date now less than a month away. More exciting still, a recent Nintendo Direct has revealed that a new DLC called Mega Dimension is also on the cards, with a special pre-order bonus if you purchase it before February 28, 2026.

Based in the single-city setting of Lumiose, which set the scene for Pokemon X and Y, the upcoming RPG from The Pokemon Company will be breaking away from the classic turn-based battle formula to bring us real-time dodges and commands that will shake up how we take on Pokemon in the wild, as well as other trainers.

We've also steadily been learning more and more about the new game, such as the fact that it will excitingly see Mega Evolutions make a comeback for the first time in seven years - with trailers showing off the likes of Mega Hawlucha and Mega Victreebel. The April Nintendo Switch 2 Direct also confirmed the new adventure will be landing on the new-gen console as one of the many upcoming Switch 2 games (fear not if you don't yet have the latest hardware as it will also be also be among the upcoming Switch games).
