Pokémon Winds and Pokémon Waves are the upcoming mainline Pokémon RPGs and the first entries in the franchise’s 10th generation. Developed by Game Freak and published by Nintendo and The Pokémon Company, the games are being built exclusively for Nintendo Switch 2 and are scheduled for a simultaneous worldwide release in 2027.
The games introduce an open-world adventure centered around windswept islands, a vast ocean, and Pokémon living within distinct ecosystems. Players will explore the region, team up with Pokémon, and encounter environmental challenges as they progress through a new Pokémon journey. Nintendo and The Pokémon Company have not yet announced a specific release date, story details, or many of the game’s major systems.
