MSYS2 contains Emacs 25.1 since some time ago.

Make sure you execute

pacman -Suy

and that will upgrade all your installed packages, including Emacs.
If you don't have Emacs installed yet, do

pacman -Suy
pacman -S mingw-w64-x86_64-emacs

(replace the later with

pacman -S mingw-w64-i686-emacs

if you are using a 32 bit MSYS2 install.)
