Pokémon Pokopia, the upcoming life-sim ‘mon game developed by Koei Tecmo, launches on Switch 2 on 5th March 2026. It’ll cost $69.99 / £58.99.
Plus, on Thursday 13th November 2025 at 6am PST / 9am EST / 2pm BST, The Pokémon Company will be sharing a trailer for the 2026 Switch 2 exclusive (thanks, Gematsu!). There’s a YouTube Premiere already lined up for the date on the Japanese YouTube channel. English trailers will probably be published shortly after the premiere begins.
In somewhat related news, Nintendo has also published a trailer about Game-Key Cards, and this trailer seems to suggest that Pokopia will be a Game Key-Card release. It does say SAMPLE over the top of it, though, but that’s probably for the key art…

Revealed during the September 2025 Nintendo Direct, Pokémon Pokopia looks absolutely adorable. Bringing life-sim elements to the hugely popular franchise for the first time ever, it looks to blend Animal Crossing, Minecraft, Dragon Quest Builders, and a ton of other cosy games.
It’s a brand new direction for the series, and notably the very first Switch 2 exclusive for the Pokémon franchise. We’re excited to see what the trailer brings on Thursday.
