Data leak reveals unannounced Pokémon games through 2030.
Details from the Teraleak revealed
Gen 10 games planned for next year
New Pokémon MMO project in development
Extra spin-off titles also mentioned
Not all leaked content may be released
Nintendo is investigating the hack
In October 2025, a cache of internal Game Freak documents appeared online under the name “Teraleak.” The data dump follows a confirmed server breach in August 2024 that exposed personal details of 2,606 employees and contractors. None of the leaked game plans have been validated by Game Freak or Nintendo, and official statements deny any confirmed leak of development information.[1][2]
Confirmed Breach and Legal Actions
Game Freak issued a notice on October 10, 2024, acknowledging unauthorized access to its servers in August 2024 and confirming the exposure of employee names and emails for 2,606 individuals. In April 2025, Nintendo of America filed a subpoena with a U.S. court to compel Discord to reveal the identity of “GameFreakOUT,” the alleged leaker of confidential materials.[3][4][5][1]

Historical Context and Reliability
Previous leaks—including 2020’s “Gigaleak” and the 2024 Teraleak—have revealed content that was later altered or cancelled. Beta builds of Pokémon Legends: Z-A showed that in-development features frequently change before release. As such, the current roadmap may diverge substantially from these leaked plans.[9][10]
Official Responses
Game Freak: Confirmed the 2024 breach and has not verified any game development details from the leak.[5][1]
Nintendo: Denies any confirmed leak of development or business information and has stated no evidence of sensitive internal data exposure beyond employee details.[2][11]
