Game Freak has officially announced new content for Pokémon Legends: Z-A, cementing the title’s place as a cornerstone in the Nintendo Switch library.
Released to critical and commercial acclaim, Pokémon Legends: Z-A has captivated fans with its fresh take on the mainline Pokémon formula.
The forthcoming downloadable content (DLC), revealed in a recent trailer, is set to introduce dramatic new elements—including the highly anticipated Mega Lucario Z. In the announcement trailer released by Game Freak, the developer confirmed that Mega Lucario Z will appear for the first time in the Mega Dimension update, scheduled to launch on December 10, 2025.
The introduction of Mega Lucario Z marks a new chapter in Mega Evolution mechanics.
Though specifics on how Lucario's Z form might affect stats or abilities remain under wraps, the addition hints at broader possibilities for other iconic Pokémon—raising anticipation for future Z forms that could enhance gameplay variety and competitive strategies. As enthusiasts await the DLC release, current Pokémon Legends: Z-A players can dive into a newly added side mission focusing on the legendary Pokémon Mewtwo.
This update allows trainers to complete a quest to add Mewtwo to their Pokédex, further expanding the roster of available legendary Pokémon.
Furthermore, players who log into the in-game news section are currently being gifted both the Mewtwonite X and Y Mega Stones, enabling mega evolution of Mewtwo during battle for the first time in this title.
These additions continue to reward dedicated trainers and foster ongoing engagement with the game's dynamic world. Pokémon Legends: Z-A, developed by Game Freak for Nintendo Switch, is the sixth mainline Pokémon game to launch on the platform.
It stands out for its innovative gameplay loop and brisk pace, factors that have contributed to the series’ sustained popularity on the Switch.
In his review for Nintendo Wire, Ricky Berg summarized the experience: completing Pokémon Legends: Z-A felt like the conclusion to one of the franchise's most diverse periods, with each Switch entry—including Sword and Shield and Legends: Arceus—offering distinct styles and approaches.
Berg observed that while Z-A’s concise format may not surpass other mainline titles in scope, its focused design delivers one of the franchise’s most enjoyable experiences in recent memory. The upcoming Mega Dimension DLC signals Game Freak’s intent to continue evolving the Pokémon experience on Nintendo Switch, further solidifying Pokémon Legends: Z-A’s lasting impact.
