Content overview: “Pokémon Ruby, Sapphire & Emerald Return February 2027 in New Collection”. The Pokémon Company is set to celebrate the 25th anniversary of Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire with a new collection arriving in February 2027, according to recent announcements. This collection will bring back the beloved Game Boy Advance titles—Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald—in a format that has yet to be fully detailed, but is widely expected to include ports for the Nintendo Switch. The timing aligns with the original Japanese release of Ruby and Sapphire in November 2002, marking a quarter-century of the Hoenn region's legacy.
The announcement has sparked significant interest among longtime fans and collectors, as the Hoenn games introduced key features like double battles, abilities, and natures that remain core to the series today. A return of these titles on modern hardware would make them accessible to a new generation of players while offering nostalgia for veterans.
