The first part of the Pokémon Sword and Shield Expansion Pass has finally gotten a release date. The hotly anticipated DLC content has been teased heavily since its reveal, and now we can confirm that the release date is June 17! Watch the newest trailer, below:
The footage even throws in the surprise reveal of the Galarian form of Slobrow! Note that The Isle of Armor and The Crown Tundra expansions can be purchased together for $29.99. What’s to expect from this DLC drop? Here’s what Nintendo has to say:
In The Isle of Armor expansion, you’ll head to The Isle of Armor, the stage of your new adventure in the Galar region. The Isle of Armor is a giant island full of environments not seen in Galar before—you’ll find wave-swept beaches, forests, bogs, caves, and sand dunes! There are also plenty of Pokémon that make this island their home, living freely amid the lush natural surroundings. There’s even a dojo here that specializes in some very particular training styles! You and your Pokémon will take up an apprenticeship under the master of this dojo and train hard to become even stronger.
June 17 is only a couple of weeks away and the Expansion Pass can be pre-purchased here right now. Will you be giving it a download? Tell us in the comments and on social media!
