Release Window for POKEMON SHIELD and POKEMON SWORD Reportedly Leaked
I’m a little surprised at how quiet Nintendo has been about Pokémon Shield and Pokémon Sword since they were announced in February. I was expecting at least some kind of follow-up by now. While many fans are expecting E3 to be a feast of reveals, some leaks have popped up with some interesting information. The most important one being a rumored release date of somewhere between November 15-20. That is actually a solid guess as Pokémon games in the past have come out around that same time in the past, and it covers Tuesday and Friday which are the two most common days for big game releases.
Another big part of the leak is that fans will supposedly get a new trailer for the games on May 10. Here’s the full leaked schedule of events:
May 10: New trailer
May 15: Corocoro reveal of the box art
June 27 – A panel at Salt Lake City Comic Con
July 10 – Gen 8 Funko Pops
July 20 – A panel at San Diego Comic Con
August 29 – Panel at a PAX
September 12 to 14 – Tokyo Game Show
September 15 – More reveals from Corocoro magazine
October 4 – New York Comic Con and a promotional tour
October 11 – More promotional tours, one in Europe and the other in one of the Americas
October 12 – Panel at PAX Australia and an Australian promotional tour
November 2 – Nintendo and Game Freak event at EGX Berlin
November 15 to 20 – Pokemon Sword and Shield Release Date
As this is a leak, it is very important to take it with a giant grain of salt. This is not official information and could be wrong. That being said, you can bet I’ll be waiting impatiently for May 10’s new trailer!
