New DLC is on the way for Pokémon Scarlet and Violet. Read on below to learn more:
Your adventure is about to get bigger. The Hidden Treasure of Area Zero DLC* for the Pokémon™ Scarlet or Pokémon Violet games adds two Pokémon-filled parts:
- Part 1: The Teal Mask (Planned release date: Fall 2023)
- Part 2: The Indigo Disk (Planned release date: Winter 2023)
In the first part, you’ll embark on a scenic school trip to check out Moussui Town, head to Loyalty Park (catching up on the local legend of Okidogi, Munkidori, and Fezandipiti), and take part in the traditional Festival of Masks.
In the second part, you’ll study as an exchange student at the prestigious Blueberry Academy. No trip to this academy is complete without a visit to the Terarium Dome—a world-renowned facility beneath the sea. The Terarium Dome features four different areas, each with its own climate and ecosystem. What a perfect place to find different kinds of Pokémon!
*Full version of game required to use DLC for that game. Sold separately.
Explore Mossui Town in The Hidden Treasure of Area Zero Part 1: The Teal Mask
In Part 1: The Teal Mask, players will head to Mossui Town in the land of Kitakami. The community center in the middle of Mossui Town is a public gathering place where the locals can get together and chat, but it will also serve as the players’ base of operations for the duration of the school trip. There’s a shop nearby with toys and magazines on display, and just outside town, you’ll be treated to a view of picturesque fields and rice paddies.
Investigate Four Unique Biomes in The Hidden Treasure of Area Zero Part 2: The Indigo Disk
Blueberry Academy, where players will go to study abroad in Part 2: The Indigo Disk, is home to a facility called the Terarium Dome, which maintains a variety of ecosystems that provide a livable environment for Pokémon. This world-renowned park beneath the sea was constructed to bolster the learning environment for strong Trainers. The Terarium Dome is made up of four areas, each of which features a unique climate and ecosystem. The artificial sky projected onto the ceiling and walls changes to reflect the time of day and weather. The temperature of each area is also carefully regulated, and Trainers will find completely different Pokémon in each area.
New Characters Revealed
Players will meet plenty of new people while studying abroad at Blueberry Academy. Among them are Cyrano—the founder and director of the academy—and Lacey, a student there.
Having heard rumors about the player and their adventures, Cyrano visits Paldea to invite them to his institution as an exchange student. It seems that he is a longtime acquaintance of Director Clavell.
Lacey is a second-year student at Blueberry Academy. She’s a reliable person who shows the player around the academy when they first arrive. Her Pokémon battling skills are apparently nothing to scoff at.
Discover Different Pokémon Depending on the Version of the Game Being Played
The Pokémon players will meet in The Hidden Treasure of Area Zero will differ depending on which game the downloadable content is for. For example, in Pokémon Scarlet, players will be able to encounter Gligar, while in Pokémon Violet, players will be able to encounter Aipom.
