Earlier this month, I traveled to Cologne, Germany, to cover Gamescom 2025 for Game Informer, and one of my various appointments was for a lil ole game called Pokémon Legends: Z-A – ever heard of it? Of course you have, because you totally definitely read my preview where I said it could be the best Pokémon game in years… right? Right?
If you didn’t (please do), you’re in luck! We have a new episode of New Gameplay Today featuring b-roll of the exact demo I played at Gamescom, and myself and Game Informer’s Alex Van Aken and Eric Van Allen are here today to share it with you, discuss what’s going on in this Legends sequel, and fight a Mega-evolved Absol.
Check it out in the NGT below:
Pokémon Legends: Z-A launches on Nintendo Switch and Switch 2 on October 16, 2025.
