In a highly anticipated announcement for Pokémon fans and collectors, The Pokémon Company has revealed that the official Pokémon Legends: Z-A original soundtrack will be released in Japan on April 17, 2026.
Developed by Game Freak, Pokémon Legends: Z-A is the latest entry in the long-running franchise and launched earlier on both Nintendo Switch and the next-generation Nintendo Switch 2 hardware, earning praise for its expansive gameplay and innovative features. The upcoming soundtrack release is set to be a substantial musical celebration of the new chapter in the Pokémon Legends series.
The boxed collection will span an impressive five CDs, offering fans a comprehensive auditory journey through the entire game.
With a total of 148 tracks included, the collection contains all the in-game scores as well as music from the highly acclaimed Mega Dimension DLC, ensuring that no notable track is left out. Complementing the extensive music library, each physical unit of the Pokémon Legends: Z-A soundtrack will feature a deluxe, full-color 36-page booklet.
This booklet is expected to showcase exclusive illustrations, composer notes, and background information about the musical development process, providing extra value for collectors and enthusiasts.
As an added incentive, buyers will also receive a special purchase bonus: a collectible key ring adorned with three acrylic charms, adding a tangible memento to this commemorative release. Currently, the official release of the Pokémon Legends: Z-A soundtrack is slated exclusively for the Japanese market, and no announcement has been made regarding a western release.
Fans outside Japan may need to rely on import avenues once pre-orders open through select retailers or the Japanese eShop.
The demand from overseas fans is expected to be high, as Pokémon soundtracks are historically cherished within the franchise's dedicated global following. Pokémon Legends: Z-A stands out as one of the flagship titles available on both the original Nintendo Switch and Nintendo Switch 2, reflecting Game Freak’s commitment to evolving the Pokémon experience across generations of Nintendo hardware.
As the release date for the soundtrack draws nearer, updates on import options and detailed content previews are anticipated, ensuring fans worldwide can celebrate the music of one of 2026’s most significant Nintendo Switch games. Stay tuned to official Pokémon and Nintendo channels for the latest news on the Pokémon Legends: Z-A soundtrack, release details, and import availability.
