The Pokémon Company released the information and confirmed a new presentation of Pokémon Presents for July 22. The event will detail unpublished elements of the game and may present other surprises related to the Pokémon universe.
Pokémon Legends Za has as the stage the city of Lumiosis and bets on real -time battles and centered narrative. The official cover reveals main characters facing a mega -voluntee Pokémon. The game is expected to renew interest in the series.
New franchise title will be exclusive to the city of Lumiose
Pokémon Legends: Za will go entirely in the city of Lumiosose, one of the best known places of the sixth generation of the franchise. The proposal is to concentrate the narrative in an urban space full of challenges and connections with the history of the Kalos region. The setting will be a central part of the experience with new visual and mechanical elements inspired by modern RPGs.
The choice to limit the geographical map may indicate a change of focus of the franchise. Instead of an extensive open world, the game will prioritize narrative development and the deepening of the characters. According to The Pokémon Company, the city's design will be detailed and interactive allowing new forms of exploration and interaction with local inhabitants and Pokémon.
Nintendo Switch 2 will receive version with graphic and performance improvements
The game will have an optimized version for the Nintendo Switch 2 that will be released globally on June 5. In addition, this edition will offer technical improvements such as higher frame rates, enhanced resolution and smoother movement. On the other hand, Nintendo's official website informs that both digital and physics can be updated for this advanced edition.
With these improvements, the franchise seeks to align with current performance standards without leaving the public from the previous console. Therefore, players who acquire Pokémon Legends Za for the traditional Nintendo Switch will still be able to enjoy the full experience, although with natural graphic limitations of the previous generation.
Pokémon Digital Legends Digital: Za starts in June and physical version arrives in July

By programming nearby dates, the company seeks to create a cycle of engagement that precedes the launch in October.
Thus, Nintendo bets on a prolonged campaign that should include trailers, demonstrations and the coverage of the Pokémon Present events. The intention is to keep the title highlighted in the months before the premiere, taking advantage of the company's hardware renewal.
