Nintendo has confirmed thatPokémon Legends Z-Ais set ‘entirely’ within Lumiose City.
During the Pokémon Day Pokémon Presents livestream on February 27, The Pokémon Companyunveiled the next major game in thePokémonseries -Pokémon Legends Z-A.
The announcement was accompanied by a short cinematic trailer that teased the Kalos region’s Paris-inspired Lumiose City, where “an urban redevelopment plan is underway to shape the city into a place that belongs to both people and Pokémon.
Aside from a title name and a setting, we weren’t provided with much more information than that; however, in a newpostshared to X (formerly Twitter) today (February 28), the official Nintendo of America account has appeared to confirm that the game will take place, solely, in the city we see in the trailer.
According to Nintendo,Pokémon Legends Z-Awill feature a new adventure “set entirely within Lumiose City.”
This statement suggests that players won’t be leaving Lumiose City in the game at any point, unlike other Pokémon titles - likePokémon SwordandShieldandPokémon Legends Arceus- where you’re able to explore the wilds outside of small towns and settlements.
We’ll have to wait a bit longer for any official in-game footage that will show us what it’s like inside this variation of Lumiose City, asPokémon Legends Z-Ais scheduled to release in 2025 forNintendo Switch.
