Major Pokémon leak Details Unannounced Games Through 2030
A massive data breach, dubbed the “Teraleak,” has revealed extensive details about The Pokémon Company’s development plans, perhaps outlining major releases through the end of the decade. The leak, originating from the same source responsible for previous Pokémon data dumps, includes concept art for a new Pokémon Legends title and suggests Generation 11 Pokémon games are slated for release in the early 2030s.
The leaked data, stemming from development data accessed as early as august 2024, details plans beyond the recently announced Pokémon Legends: Z-A. Fans are already analyzing the purported plans and discussing potential gameplay mechanics, with early fan art emerging based on concept art from the leak. Though, the authenticity of the information remains unconfirmed, as development plans are subject to change. Previous leaks, such as those surrounding Pokémon Legends: Z-A, have demonstrated that features are often cut during development.
Nintendo previously attempted to identify the source of the Teraleak, initiating a legal effort in April 2024 to subpoena Discord for user information. IGN has reached out to Nintendo and The Pokémon Company for comment.
The leak follows a important trove of development data released last year, covering a wide range of previous Pokémon projects.
