Pokémon Scarlet and Violet DLC: Release date latest & pre-order news

radiotimes.com:

There's no doubt about it: despite performance issues at launch, Pokémon Scarlet and Violet have been huge hits for Nintendo.

If you've somehow caught all the Paradox Pokémon, beat all the Tera Raids and completed the Paldea Pokédex but are still desperate for more 'mons, then we have good news for you: Scarlet and Violet will be receiving an expansive DLC.

Announced at a special Pokémon Presents for Pokémon Day, the DLC will be split into two parts and see players leave the Paldea region, going on an exchange trip for the first time to a new area.

Here's everything you need to know about the Pokémon Scarlet and Violet DLC, titled The Hidden Treasure of Area Zero.

As with Pokémon Sword and Shield's DLC, the Pokémon Scarlet and Violet expansion will be split into two parts. The Hidden Treasure of Area Zero will be the overall name of the DLC, with Part 1 titled The Teal Mask and Part 2 named The Indigo Disk.

Part 1: The Teal Mask will be released first in autumn 2023, with a specific date set to be announced nearer the time.

Part 2: The Indigo Disk will arrive soon after in winter, though this could technically mean a release in early 2024.

Yes! You can pre-order the Pokémon Scarlet and Violet DLC now. The expansion is also available as part of a bundle with the base games.

Make sure you purchase the DLC for the right game — there are separate pages for both Scarlet and Violet!

There are also several pre-order incentives for those who purchase before Tuesday 31st October 2023. The main draw is a code for a special Hisuian Zoroark that knows the move Happy Hour, has a Dark Tera Type and has the Charismatic Mark.

Early purchasers will also get the New Uniform Set set by pressing the X button and accessing the in-game
