Pokemon Scarlet and Violet Physical Release with Hidden Treasures DLC Announced

Trainers, get ready for a treat! The Pokemon Company has unveiled exciting news for Pokemon Scarlet and Violet fans – a physical release of the game, along with the highly anticipated Hidden Treasures of Area Zero DLC.

Worldwide Launch: Mark your calendars for November 3rd, 2023, because that’s when this exciting physical release will hit stores worldwide. Pokemon enthusiasts can rejoice as they’ll have the opportunity to hold a tangible copy of these incredible games.

The Package Contents: The physical release won’t just include the base game but also grants access to the Hidden Treasures of Area Zero DLC. However, eagle-eyed fans have noticed a notable detail on the box – it mentions that an “Additional Download” is required. This suggests that not all parts of the DLC might be stored on the game cartridge. Reports indicate that it’s the Indigo Disk portion that will require this additional download. So, be prepared to have a robust internet connection to make the most of this exciting expansion.

In addition to the game and DLC, the package will also feature a serial code to redeem a generous 100 Pokeballs, which will undoubtedly come in handy during your journey in the vibrant and expansive world of Pokemon Scarlet and Violet.

Mixed Reactions: While this physical release is great news for collectors and those who prefer having a tangible copy of their games, it has also sparked mixed reactions. Some players who purchased the DLC digitally are disappointed that they now need to buy the physical edition to complete their collection. It raises questions about future game releases and whether both physical and digital editions should be available simultaneously. I totally agree on this point!
