Nintendo Switch players will soon venture to the new area of Kitakami when both parts of the Pokemon Scarlet and Violet DLC arrive before the end of 2023.
The Pokemon Scarlet and Violet DLC was officially unveiled today as part of the February 2023 Pokemon Presents livestream. It’s called The Hidden Treasure of Area Zero and will be split into two parts, similar to how previous pokemon DLCs on Nintendo Switch have been handled. Part one is named The Teal Mask and will arrive in Fall 2023, while The Indigo Disk is the second part and lands a little later this winter.
The expansion pass is expected to go live on the Nintendo eShop sometime later today, and anyone who pre-orders before October 31, 2023, will receive a limited-edition Hisuian Zoroark. The trailer for The Hidden Treasure of Area Zero teased an ancient mystery that will take players away from Pokemon Scarlet and Violet’s main location of Paldea in favour of the new Kitakami area. A press release went on to clarify that both parts will also bring with it its own new legendary pokemon – in this instance Ogerpon and Terapagos.
