When was Pokémon Pokopia released worldwide?

Pokémon Pokopia was released worldwide on March 5, 2026. The date appears in the game’s infobox and development history, which records the worldwide launch after its 2025 announcement.

Pokopia was first announced during a Nintendo Direct in September 2025. Early promotional material described the title as arriving in 2026, while later release information established the exact March date. This makes September 12, 2025 an announcement date rather than the game’s launch date.

The release date is also useful for separating Pokopia from other recent Pokémon projects. It launched on Nintendo Switch 2 and became a major Pokémon spin-off centered on crafting, construction, and restoring habitats. Its first four days produced 2.2 million worldwide sales, according to reported Nintendo-related sales information.
