Pokémon Legends: Z-A Mega Dimension DLC, Pokémon Pokopia Announced

During the latest Nintendo Direct, The Pokémon Company made announcements for two upcoming Pokémon titles. Firstly, it announced that the upcoming Pokémon Legends: Z-A will be receiving DLC. The Mega Dimension DLC will be available on both Nintendo Switch and Nintendo Switch 2, and feature post-story content where players work with Team MZ and Hoopa to explore spatial distortions as well as uncover two different Mega Evolutions for Raichu. It also revealed that Chesnaught, Delphox, and Greninja will receive Mega Evolutions in the game.

Pokémon Legends: Z-A will release on October 16, 2025, on Nintendo Switch and Nintendo Switch 2. The game takes place in Lumiose City as it undergoes an urban redevelopment plan intended to “shape the city into a place that belongs to both people and Pokémon”. It changes up the series’ traditional turn-based combat with a new real-time combat where trainers and Pokémon move around in real-time and unleash moves when commanded.

The other announcement was the reveal of Pokémon Pokopia, which is developed by Koei Tecmo. The game is a life-simulation game where players control a Ditto that can transform into a human shape. It lets players learn moves from befriended Pokémon and construct an environment that attracts other Pokémon while collecting materials, building furniture and homes, and growing vegetables. The game will feature a synchronised day-night cycle, changing weather, and a variety of in-game locations, with players able to invite friends to visit. Pokémon Pokopia will release for Nintendo Switch 2 in 2026.
