Pokémon Company Announces “Pokémon Champions,” Promises “Legends: Z-A” Coming in 2025
New Pokémon games, Pokémon Legends: Z-A and Pokémon Champions, are on the way, the Pokémon Company announced today during a Pokémon Presents broadcast. Z-A, the highly anticipated follow-up to the series’ first open-world game, will arrive in late 2025.
The Pokémon Company announced Pokémon Legends: Z-A, a new adventure set in the Lumiose City of the Kalos region from Pokémon X and Y, last year. Today, the company revealed the game’s three starters—Chikorita, Tepig, or Totodile—as well as a look at gameplay.
Like its predecessor, Pokémon Legends: Arceus, Z-A will include areas throughout its city players can venture into to find and battle Pokémon. Battles look a little different this time around, with moves now having different areas of effect, or attacks that have a longer or shorter reach. The game will also include Mega Evolutions, enhanced versions of Pokémon’s final evolutions.
The company also briefly shared news on a new game for Switch, iOS, and Android. Pokémon Champions is a battle-focused game where players will be able to compete with each other online. In addition to having access to Pokémon collected in-game, players will be able to connect to cloud service Pokémon Home, a hub where you can store creatures collected across games such as Pokémon Scarlet and Violet, Pokémon Legends: Arceus, and Pokémon Go.
The company did not give a release date for Champions. There was also no word about whether the game would be for Switch 2, but it did promise it would be cross-platform.
