The Pokémon Company is set to hold a digital event on Wednesday

Live stream to reveal Pokémon news, including new info on Switch DLC expansions

The Pokémon Company will share its latest news in a special Pokémon Presents presentation on Wednesday, June 17.

According to a Japanese tweet, the presentation will include new information on Pokémon Sword and Shield’s upcoming expansions and last for around 11 minutes.

The presentation is due to start at 6am PDT / 2pm BST.

Pokémon Sword and Shield’s The Isle of Armor will release on June 17, followed by The Crown Tundra in fall 2020.

They’ll be released individually and as part of a $29.99 / £26.99 expansion pass, with each adding new environments, new (and old) Pokémon and fresh player customisation options.

The expansions will include the addition of more than 200 legacy Pokémon. Players who don’t purchase the DLC will be able to obtain these via other means such as trading.

“Players will also be able to bring over Pokémon to their games from the cloud service Pokémon Home as long as the Pokémon appear in the Pokémon Sword and Pokémon Shield expansion packs,” said Junichi Masuda, producer of Sword and Shield at Game Freak, in a recent Nintendo Pokémon Direct video.
