The Pokémon Company will release the first DLC for Scarlet and Violet on September 13

The Pokémon Company announced during the Pokémon Presents event that the first part of The Hidden Treasure of Area Zero DLC for Pokémon Scarlet and Violet will be released on September 13 for the Nintendo Switch. The second part should be released sometime in the winter.

The first half of the Pokémon Scarlet and Violet DLC is called The Teal Mask. In the expansion, the player goes on a school trip to the Kitakami region. In this new game world, the Loyal Three festival takes place, a tribute to the three legendary Pokémon, namely Okidogi, Munkidori and Fezandipiti. Players also take on the villain Ogerpon. In the region, the player encounters several older generations of the titular creatures, previously not found in the Paldea region.

The trailer below shows some new evolutions of Pokémon and appears to add a flying mechanic to the game. The Teal Mask is the first part of The Hidden Treasure of Area Zero DLC pack. The Indigo Disk should be released later this year. No exact release date has been shared yet.
