Pokémon Legends: Z-A leaks well before release

Before the officialëLe release later this week is Pokémon Legends: Z-A already appeared on the Internet. The game will appear on Thursday 16 October for both the Nintendo Switch and the Switch 2, but spoilers are now circulating everywhere.

Illegal ROM sites have unauthorized copyën of the full game put online, after which dataminers immediately started working. As a result, the complete Pokédex leaked along with all attacks, items and even new Mega Evolutions that had not yet been officially announced by The PokéMon Company.

In addition, several players already stream the game on platforms such as Twitch, although the game is not officially available yet.

Pokémon Legends: Z-A was announced in May and is the successor to Pokémon Legends: Arceus from 2022. That title was praised for its innovative formula, but was criticised for technical shortcomings. The new game should make up for that with better graphics and more stable performance, especially on Switch 2.

Fans who want to be surprised are advised to avoid social media until the game officially appears on Thursday.
