Developer Game Freak is releasing two major story expansions, each of which will come complete with new and returning monsters, along with free updates. It\u2019s kind of a big deal.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=bRUWgM31BRQ\">https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=bRUWgM31BRQ<\/a><\/p>\n<p>The two expansions are\u00a0<em>Isle of Armor<\/em> and\u00a0<em>Crown Tundra<\/em>. The former offers new clothes, rivals, and a dojo with a mentor called Mustard. The latter has a new form of co-op gameplay that I presume we\u2019ll hear more about as the release date draws nearer. Between the two expansions, we\u2019ll see the return of 200\u00a0Pok\u00e9mon, as well as some new faces (even a few new Legendaries, so I\u2019ve heard). Here\u2019s a description from the eShop page:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><span>The Isle of Armor is full of different landscapes, including beaches, bogs, forests, and more. Here you\u2019ll become the student of a former champion and train alongside the new Legendary Pok\u00e9mon Kubfu. While this area is focused on growing as a trainer, The Crown Tundra is all about exploring uncharted territory! Traverse The Crown Tundra\u2019s blizzard-swept expanse and the depths of Pok\u00e9mon Dens as you unravel the mystery of the Legendary Pok\u00e9mon Calyrex.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>That\u2019s frankly astounding. Usually an update this large requires either an updated re-release or a whole new\u00a0<em>Pok\u00e9mon<\/em>\u00a0game. Man, the comparisons to\u00a0<em>Monster Hunter\u00a0<\/em>just keep popping up in my head (or that might just be that Crown Tundra is making me think of\u00a0<em>Monster Hunter World<\/em>\u2018s new Iceborne expansion).<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m sure the fact that these expansions\u00a0add older Pok\u00e9mon to the roster was planned in advance, but it still feels designed to placate fans. The missing National Dex\u00a0was such a scandal that, yes, there was a White House petition asking for the game to be removed from stores. As far as I know that never went anywhere, but that was merely the extremely hyperbolic expression of a general discontent over the missing\u00a0Pok\u00e9mon. Now at least some of those monsters will be returning, so you\u2019ll be able to catch\u00a0<em>most\u00a0<\/em>of \u2019em all.<\/p>\n<p>Still, that begs the question of whether they were cut specifically to have something enticing for the expansion. But perhaps that can of worms is best left untouched for the present moment. Besides, both expansions will come with free updates that allow players who haven\u2019t bought the expansions to still obtain the new (and old) Pok<span>\u00e9mon,<\/span> presumably via trading if nothing else.<\/p>\n<p>According to Kotaku, <em>Isle of Armor<\/em> will be available in June, with <em>Crown Tundra<\/em> following in the fall. Both are currently available for pre-order in the Nintendo eShop.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>[ad_2]<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/thenextweb.com\/gaming\/2020\/01\/09\/pokemon-sword-shield-new-expansions\/\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[ad_1] Nintendo revealed during a special Direct today that Pok\u00e9mon\u00a0Sword &amp; Shield\u00a0is going to get even bigger.
