Nintendo has announced that Pokémon Legends: Z-A will release worldwide on the 16th of October.
The exciting new game will only be available on the Nintendo Switch and Switch 2, with bundle packs available for pre-order already.
Pokémon legends on Nintendo Switch
The Switch 2 bundle release comes at the same time that Nintendo plans on dropping Pokémon Legends: Z-A in October.
In the bundle gamers will get a Switch 2 console as well as the new Pokémon Legends game.
Pre-orders are already available for the bundle deal, with Nintendo selling the console and game together for a price of $499.99.
The bundle represents good value with a Switch 2 on its own costing $449.99.
Pokémon Legends: Z-A is available for preorder on its own at a price of $74.99.
There is no doubt that Pokémon Legends is one of the most heavily anticipated games of the year not just for the Pokémon series, but for Nintendo on the whole.
Players will be able to explore Lumiose City which was first introduced in the Pokémon X and Y era on Nintendo 3DS. While looking around the city, gamers can search for Pokémon during the day with an expansive terrain to explore.
While there is still over three months until Pokémon Legends goes live, there is still plenty of other Pokémon content for fans to look forward to in the coming year.
