New Pokémon Sword and Shield DLC information coming Tuesday night

The hour of armour is upon us

Pokémon Sword and Shield’s first DLC expansion — Isle of Armor — is scheduled to launch sometime this month, and on Tuesday night we may just find out when.

The Pokémon Company has announced that new information regarding the Pokémon Sword and Shield Expansion Pass will be released on Tuesday night, at 11:00 PM AEST. The Expansion Pass contains two DLC expansions, the Isle of Armor expansion, expected to launch this month, and the Crown Tundra expansion, which is said to be launching in the Spring in Australia.

It’s not currently known what this new information is, but given we’re in the Isle of Armor’s release month, you can probably expect a release date — or maybe even a release? Time will tell, and we’ll be sure to tell you all about it when it comes.
