Pokémon Pokópia: Release Date Confirmed for March 5, 2026
Pokémon fans have something exciting to look forward to! Pokémon Pokópia, the first-ever Pokémon lifestyle simulation game, was initially revealed back in September 2025 with a tentative release window set for 2026. Now, Nintendo has officially announced that the game will launch on March 5, 2026.
The announcement came via a post on X, Nintendo’s social media platform, though no new trailer, screenshots, or additional game details were shared at this time. What we do know is that Pokémon Pokópia will be a Switch 2 exclusive, marking an important addition to the console’s lineup.
In Pokémon Pokópia, players take on the role of Ditto, the shapeshifting Pokémon. Although Ditto appears as a human-like figure, it uses its unique powers to harness the abilities of various Pokémon. Players will use these powers to shape the land, grow crops, and build structures in an immersive lifestyle simulation experience.
The game was originally unveiled during the Nintendo Direct presentation in September 2025 and is being developed by Koei Tecmo, a studio known for its expertise in simulation and strategy games.
Pokémon Pokópia now joins other major titles like 007 First Light and Saros as key releases scheduled for March 2026. This year is shaping up to be significant for the Pokémon franchise as it celebrates its 30th anniversary in February.
Stay tuned for more updates as the release date approaches!
