Pokémon Presents detonates the hype: Winds & Waves announced for 2027 (Switch 2)
The next mainline Pokémon entries, Winds and Waves, were revealed with new starters and a more ambitious open-world vibe.
What it means for gamers: this is a big “future direction” signal—bigger scope, bigger expectations, and likely a very long wait where every other RPG gets compared to it unfairly.
The announcement confirmed the games are being developed specifically for the “Switch 2†hardware, promising a visual fidelity and scale previously impossible for the series.
