Massive Pokémon leak reveals plans for Gen 10
Will involve an archipelago setting
After decades of being a global phenomenon, the Pokémon franchise has one of the most coveted archives for game historians, developers, and fans. Before Game Freak and The Pokémon Company can release any official collection, a massive leak has revealed almost everything about the franchise’s past, present, and future.
Now called the Teraleak, the leak encompasses the development process of past games, the whole source codes of existing titles, and comprehensive plans for future projects. It’s one of the most extensive leaks from a single company in gaming history.
Plans for the future
While a huge chunk of the files detail what could have been included in past games (via Centro LEAKS on X), the more interesting bits involve what’s coming for the entire franchise. First of all, the upcoming Pokémon Legends: Z-A was originally scheduled to launch earlier this year. It will have Mega Zygarde and Mega Zerora. Only the original Switch will get the title.
More distantly, the upcoming Gen 10 will arrive through the codenamed Pokémon Gaia. It will feature an archipelagic setting and will have players explore different islands. It’s being developed mainly for the Switch 2, but a version for the original console is also coming. The leak supposedly includes a source code of the upcoming games, too.
Now, in the world of film, the franchise is supposedly getting a new movie codenamed Project Bauer. Meant to be a soft reboot for the whole universe, the untitled film will be set in Kanto and will feature only the original 151 Pokémon, focusing on Mew. Unfortunately, the project has been in development hell since 2021, so there’s no word on whether the film will actually release.
More than just games
Though the leak started during the weekend, more details are still coming out at the time of this writing. If you’re interested, they’re all dropping on X.
Game Freak has officially recognized the existence of a leak. However, the company only acknowledged the leak involving the information of its employees, rather than the gaming-related information.

The hunt begins: The Witcher in Concert hits Manila with surprises in tow
The Continent comes alive
If you’ve ever heard a haunting chant echo through a battlefield or felt the weight of a choice that isn’t as simple as good or evil, then you already know—the Path has a way of calling you back.
And if you haven’t stepped into that world just yet, consider this your invitation.
With less than two weeks to go, The Witcher in Concert is set to take over Manila for a one-night-only performance. It’s happening on March 28, 2026 at The Theatre at Solaire—bringing with it not just the music of a beloved RPG, but a full-on return to the Continent.
Celebrating the 10th anniversary of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, the concert transforms one of gaming’s most iconic soundtracks into a live experience. Expect performances from selected musicians of the Filharmonika Orchestra alongside Percival Schuttenbach—the Polish folk-metal band whose distinct sound helped define the game’s identity. Paired with in-game visuals, it’s a show designed to feel both nostalgic and entirely new.
As the night draws closer, here are three things fans can look forward to:
Relics from the Continent: official merchandise
For those who want to take a piece of the experience home, exclusive event merchandise will be available in limited quantities.
This includes the following:
- Event Tee (PhP2,200)
- Geralt Long Sleeve (PhP3,400)
- Event Hoodie (PhP4,200)
- Beanie (PhP1,800)
- Tote bag (PhP1,800)
- Key chain (PhP1,400)
- Enamel pin set (PhP1,400)
- Event magnet (PhP800)
- Geralt gaming mouse pad (PhP2,000)
It’s the kind of loot drop fans won’t want to miss.
The path to Solaire: getting there made easier
Getting to the venue is part of the journey—and this time, it’s a little easier. Attendees can use the Grab code FCPH2026 to get 20% off rides (up to PhP75). With the condition of a minimum fare of PhP250. The promo is valid for two rides per user and applies to trips to and from Solaire Entertainment City.
A rare encounter: meet Percival Schuttenbach
For a handful of lucky fans, the experience goes beyond the stage. Ten winners will get the chance to meet Percival Schuttenbach and receive an autographed CD.
To join, ticket holders need to share any official The Witcher in Concert post on their Instagram Story. They need to write what they’re most excited to hear live and tag @filmconcerts.ph. They need to submit their entry before March 24, 2026 at 5:00 PM. Winners will be announced on March 25.
Answer the call
As the Continent arrives in Manila, fans are encouraged to lean all the way in—whether that means coming in cosplay as a monster hunter, mage, bard, or something far more dangerous.
Tickets are available via TicketWorld and participating outlets nationwide.
The Path is open. The question is—will you answer the call?

Switch 2 now lets you play old games in 1080p
It tricks old games into thinking that the console is docked.
The Switch 2’s popularity is astonishing, to say the least. Just recently, a single game, Pokémon Pokopia, was responsible for taking the free times of over two million players on the Switch 2. Now, Nintendo has released a new feature which should make the console much more playable, especially for those who already had the original Switch.
Today, the Switch 2 received the 22.0.0 system update. Though the update is mostly a variety of smaller updates, one feature, called the Handheld Mode Boost, stands out among the rest. As per the patch notes, “Handheld Mode Boost will cause compatible Nintendo Switch software to run as if the console is being played in TV mode.” Put simply, the feature will unlock 1080p resolution for older games.
For gamers who had the original Switch, game resolution was a huge problem. The first console lived on a 720p screen, so the early games supported only lower resolutions. The only exception is when the console was docked, which allows 1080p resolution.
Now, the Switch 2 supports backwards compatibility. Players can access their older Switch games on the new console. The catch, however, is that these games are still stuck in 720p. Some titles, at least, have released an update to increase resolution on the new console.
Handheld Mode Boost tricks the console into thinking that it’s hooked up to the dock. In effect, the game will play in 1080p. The catch, however, is that it also thinks that the Joy-Cons are a single Pro controller, so players might lose some game features. It’s still a decent price to pay, though.
In other news, the update has also updated the naming of the “Hong Kong/Taiwan/South Korea” to “Hong Kong/Taiwan/South Korea/Southeast Asia,” potentially hinting that Southeast Asia might finally get an online store.
