A popular leaker, CentroLeaks, has hinted that the release date for Pokémon Winds and Waves, the new Pokémon Gen 10 games might be sooner than expected, according to the leaks account. The release date of the Pokémon Winds & Waves games is currently set for 2027, but this could be delayed longer than expected due to the delayed release of the games' release date. CentroLeak has previously published accurate Pokémon Gen10 leaks, with the release dates previously being announced in October 2025 and January 2022 respectively. However, this latest rumor may not be confirmed as a leak, but could break the trend of most mainline Pokémon games launching in the Fall rather than Fall, as most games typically launch during the November season.
