Fans will finally return to the world of Pokémon to a brand-new region in 2027, when Pokémon Winds and Pokémon Waves launch worldwide on Nintendo Switch 2. The Pokémon Company confirmed the two games as twin entries in the series' tenth generation during a Pokémon Presents broadcast on 27 February 2026.
For a franchise that has been revisiting familiar ground with remakes and spin-offs since 2022's Generation 9 titles, the announcement carries real weight. These are the first mainline games built specifically for Nintendo's next-generation console, and the first time players will explore a fully open tropical archipelago shaped around wind and water. What is known so far comes from the official trailer and follow-up materials; considerable detail remains under wraps, from the exact release date to pricing and any special editions.
