Introduction
A recent report circulating online claims that two new Pokémon titles, Pokémon Winds and Pokémon Waves, are being targeted for a September 2027 launch.
The claim originates from the account Centro Leaks; however, The Pokémon Company and developer Game Freak have not issued any confirmation.
This article summarizes the leak, puts it in the context of verified history from the franchise, and explains how official news is normally announced.
Leak details and journalistic rewrite
Centro Leaks has posted that The Pokémon Company and Game Freak are aiming for a September 2027 release window for Pokémon Winds and Pokémon Waves.
The report further states this is an internal target month the development teams are working toward and that timetables could change.
Rewritten in clear, journalistic language: the leak indicates that developers have an internal plan for a September 2027 timeframe, but such internal targets are routinely subject to revision and are not official release dates.
What is verified
- Developer and publisher roles: Game Freak is the longtime developer of mainline Pokémon titles, while The Pokémon Company manages the franchise’s brand and licensing in partnership with Nintendo and Creatures.
The Pokémon Company was established in 1998 to oversee the franchise.
- Past release examples: Pokémon Sword and Shield launched for Nintendo Switch in November 2019, and Pokémon Scarlet and Violet released on Nintendo Switch on November 18, 2022.
These release windows show the franchise has historically targeted late-year launches for major entries, though timing has varied by generation.
- Announcement channels: Nintendo, The Pokémon Company and Game Freak have historically used events such as Nintendo Directs, Pokémon Presents broadcasts, and press releases to reveal new mainline Pokémon games.
Nintendo’s eShop and official social channels are then used for follow-up details and digital releases.
What remains unconfirmed
Neither The Pokémon Company, Game Freak, nor Nintendo have confirmed the existence of games titled Pokémon Winds or Pokémon Waves, nor an official September 2027 release date.
Claims originating from leak accounts should be treated as unverified until an official announcement is made.
What to watch next
Monitor official outlets — The Pokémon Company, Game Freak, Nintendo’s press site, and Nintendo Direct or Pokémon Presents broadcasts — for confirmation.
As with prior generations, any official reveal will likely provide platforms, release dates, and distribution details including potential eShop listings.
We will update this story when official information becomes available.
