Pokemon Legends: Z-A Will Take Place Entirely Within Lumiose City

Shortly after officially announcing the next major Pokemon title, Pokemon Legends: Z-A, Nintendo of America has taken to social media platform X (formerly Twitter) to reveal that the upcoming game will take place entirely within the Kalos region’s Lumiose City, which was first seen in Pokemon X and Y.

“Watch to see the reveal trailer for Pokemon Legends: Z-A, a new adventure set entirely within Lumiose City, coming to Nintendo Switch in 2025,” said Nintendo of America as it shared the announcement trailer for the game.

Lumiose City itself was a major focus of the announcement trailer for Pokemon Legends: Z-A. The trailer indicated that the city is undergoing an urban redevelopment, with the vision of becoming a new home for both humans and Pokemon alike.

Pokemon Legends: Z-A is set for release in 2025 and will be coming exclusively to Nintendo Switch “systems”. Whether that means it will be a cross-gen release remains to be seen.
