Earlier this year The Pokémon Company announced that this year they would be offering a plethora of new content, new Pokémon and new areas…for people who already owned last year’s games. How were they going to do that? They were selling a paid DLC Expansion Pass.

Pokémon Sword and Pokémon Shield’s expansion pass costs $30 US (on the eShop) and will include two expansion packs expected to receive a digital release this year. Since they were announced, players in the US have heard very little about the game’s launch schedule. Tonight, we just received official verification of the release date of the first DLC expansion! Take a look:

The very first DLC, The Isle of Armor, is coming June 17th. It is included with the game’s expansion pass.

Pokémon Sword and Pokémon Shield are out now exclusively for the Nintendo Switch. DLC2, The Crown Tundra, is expected to release Fall 2020.
