Pokémon Winds and Waves' massive map might've leaked already
Polygon.com • • technology
Key Points:
- A recent leak from trusted source Centro Leaks suggests that Pokémon Winds and Waves, set for release in 2027, will feature a large open-world region based on Southeast Asia, particularly Indonesia's island geography.
- The leaked map reportedly includes around 17 islands, various water regions including deep-sea areas, and familiar Pokémon locations like hotels, ruins, power plants, and summits.
- Fans can expect diverse gym types such as poison, flying, fighting, steel, dark, fairy, and normal, alongside unique areas like a wasteland, flowing water zone, and a ghost island.
- The leak originates from a 2024 data breach and the game is still in development, so some map details may change or be omitted in the final release.
- If the leak is accurate, Winds and Waves could be the largest mainline Pokémon game yet, offering an expansive experience beyond what was shown in the initial reveal trailer.
