Pokémon Legends Z-A Mega Dimension Drops Sooner Than Expected
The big moment Pokémon fans have been waiting for is finally here, and honestly, it has arrived even earlier than anyone thought. The Pokémon Legends Z-A: Mega Dimension DLC is officially launching this week, and the excitement around it has been building fast. What was once expected to land in February 2026 has now been moved up, catching everyone pleasantly off guard.
Originally, the Nintendo eShop listed a broad February window, so players had settled in for a long wait. But then Game Freak delivered a surprise announcement in November, revealing that the expansion would actually be released much sooner. And now, the confirmed release date for the Mega Dimension DLC is Wednesday, December 10, 2025 . That announcement alone stirred up a wave of hype, especially because this expansion isn’t small—it’s pretty massive.

Mega Dimension will add over 135 returning Pokémon , which instantly gives the game a much fuller roster. On top of that, fans will get 19 new Mega Evolutions , including headline-grabbers like Mega Zeraora, Mega Tatsugiri, and the newly revealed Mega Lucario Z. Each new form has been designed to shake up gameplay and keep battles feeling fresh, so this DLC is expected to be a big step forward for the Legends Z-A experience.
Of course, there’s always the classic question: does it actually release on the 10th everywhere, or does it drop earlier in some regions because of time zone differences? The good news is that the rollout follows the usual “Universal Time Code” pattern. That means the update goes live simultaneously worldwide. Historically, Pokémon patches have launched exactly at 1:00 UTC , and Mega Dimension is expected to follow that same model.
What that translates to is an earlier release date for many regions. North America, for example, will actually get the DLC on Tuesday, December 9, 2025 , going live at 5:00 PM PT or 8:00 PM ET . Other parts of the world will see it become available on December 10 in their local morning or early afternoon hours, depending on the time zone. It’s the kind of global launch that gets everyone online at once, comparing notes, trading reactions, and diving into new content together.
However, before players jump in, there’s an important requirement that can’t be skipped. Unlike some previous Pokémon DLCs where new players could access extra content early, Mega Dimension locks its entry behind story progress. Game Freak has confirmed that you must first complete the main storyline of Pokémon Legends Z-A. Specifically, players need to finish Main Quest #37: Operation Protect Lumiose before the DLC becomes playable. So, if your save file isn’t caught up, now’s the time to wrap things up.
