The February 2024 Pokemon Presents showcase ended with the announcement of Pokémon Legends: Z-A, a new entry in the spin-off series. It’ll be set in the Kalos region and is aiming for a 2025 release window.

Pokemon Legends: Z-A was the final announcement of today’s Pokemon Presents showcase. It showed off various schematics and artistic renderings of Lumiose City, which was featured in 2013’s Pokemon X and Y.

While the announcement trailer didn’t feature any gameplay, a brief synopsis of the game can be found in the video’s description:

This will be the second game in the Pokemon Legends series, following 2022’s Pokemon Legends Arceus. With a 2025 release window, there won’t be any major Pokemon releases in 2024.
