Today, Nintendo announced that Pokémon Legends: Z-A and Pokémon Legends: Z-A – Nintendo Switch 2 Edition are scheduled to debut on October 16th. Per The Pokémon Company International’s press release, preorders for digital versions of the games will begin June 5th on the Nintendo eShop. And according to a post on the company’s official Japanese X profile, preorders for physical editions of the games start July 23rd.
On July 22nd, TCPi is also putting on another Pokémon Presents streaming presentation focused on Legends: Z-A, which will likely reveal even more of the game’s new monsters and details about its story. The Pokémon Presents’ timing definitely makes it seem like Nintendo intends on getting people hyped up to secure their copies. And given how generally tightlipped the company has been about Legends: Z-A so far, this next presentation is probably going to be one worth watching.
