Pokémon Legends Z-A has taken the gaming world by storm within just three weeks of its release. The game achieved a phenomenal milestone by selling 5.8 million copies in its debut week, capturing the attention of players in the UK and the US. Now, The Pokémon Company has announced exciting news for Pokémon fans: the first paid DLC, Mega Dimension, will be available on Nintendo Switch and Nintendo Switch 2 devices starting December 10, 2025.
Exciting New Features in Mega Dimension
The announcement was accompanied by two trailers. One offers a cinematic glimpse into the new DLC, while the other provides an in-depth look at what players can anticipate with Mega Dimension. The Mega Dimension DLC introduces a groundbreaking change: Pokémon no longer have a level cap of 100, allowing players to encounter Pokémon stronger than ever before.
The storyline introduces a new character, Ansha, alongside her partner Pokémon, Hoopa. Together, they take players into a different dimension and a new version of Lumiose City. This version of the city is teeming with new Pokémon variations, and players are tasked with unraveling a mystery involving distortions appearing throughout the city.
Reviews and Future Prospects
Pokémon Legends Z-A has been well-received by critics. A review gave it an impressive score of 8.5 out of 10, praising its cohesive and well-constructed RPG elements, innovative combat mechanics, and polished gameplay. The review notes that while the world is more compact compared to titles like Pokémon Scarlet and Violet, the game provides a strong foundation for the series’ future evolution.
