As promised, Nintendo and Game Freak provided new details for Pokemon Sword and Shield’s first expansion, The Isle of Armor. It releases on June 17th for Expansion Pass holders on Nintendo Switch. Check out the latest trailer below which features some of the new areas that will be explored.

The titular Isle of Armor is located just off-shore of the Galar region. Players will encounter a Pokemon trainer with a dojo and become their apprentice, receiving the new Legendary Kubfu. Kubfu can evolve into Urshifu who has two different styles – Single Strike and Rapid Strike – with the ability to Gigantamax. Other Gigantamax Pokemon can be seen below.

Some key differences await those who own either Sword or Shield. If you own the Expansion Pass for Pokemon Sword, then you’ll train alongside Klara who uses Poison-type Pokemon. Pokemon Shield players with the Expansion Pass will fight alongside Avery who uses Psychic-type Pokemon. The Expansion Pass costs $29.99 and also includes access to The Crown Tundra which releases this Fall. Stay tuned for more details in the meantime.

It’s been a while since Nintendo offered any updates on Pokemon Sword and Shield, especially with the first expansion The Isle of Armor slated to release later this month. Thankfully, new information will be coming tomorrow at 6 AM PT. This is according to the official Pokemon Japan Twitter account.

Some details about the expansion have been revealed already, including the addition of new areas, more customization options and new Legendaries. Two Legendaries – Kubfu and Urshifu – have been revealed already with the former being able to evolve into two different styles of the latter, namely Single Strike and Rapid Strike. Both styles are capable of using Gigantamax as well.

Over 200 new Pokemon will be coming in The Isle of Armor and The Crown Tundra. To access either expansion, you need to buy both in the $29.99 Expansion Pass (no word yet on whether they can be purchased separately). The Crown Tundra is currently slated to release in Fall 2020. Stay tuned for more details tomorrow on The Isle of Armor’s release date.
