While Pokémon Sword and Shield released over a year ago on the Nintendo Switch, 2020 saw the release of a significant amount of new content for the game. O Armor Island and The Crown Tundra The DLC expanded the game in an important way, adding new areas to explore, new story content and new Pokémon to capture. Some of these Pokémon are older favorites, while others are completely new to the franchise. To celebrate the DLC, Nintendo released a brand new trailer for Sword and shield, highlighting the content that players can find as part of the expansion.
The new game trailer can be found embedded below.

Most games in the Pokémon mainline franchise have received a “third version” over the years, adding content that was not in the original release. For Pokémon Sword and Shield, The Pokémon Company chose to launch an expansion DLC, so that players who already liked the game could continue their adventure with their current team. Armor Island and The Crown Tundra have been available for some time, but in the absence of a new Pokémon game this year, it makes sense to see Nintendo still promoting the release!
The next year will mark the 25th anniversary of Red and green Pokémonwas released in 1996. It stands to reason that games like New Pokémon Snap and the continuation of Nintendo Switch for Detective Pikachu both could launch next year. It is also possible that the next generation of Pokémon games could see the launch as well. If that’s the case, fans can expect to see a full reveal in the coming months. For now, though, fans will simply have to take advantage of the content that is currently available!
Pokémon sword and shield is now available exclusively on Nintendo Switch. You can check out all of our previous coverage of the game here.
