Pokemon Scarlet & Violet players can now look forward to “The Hidden Treasure of Area Zero” DLC Expansion revealed during the 2023 Pokemon Day Presents. The DLC will offer new ways to explore the Paldea Region.
Pokemon Scarlet & Violet have been out since November 2022, and many players have completed the main story arcs and post-game adventures. While the Tera Raid events circulating each weekend have offered challenges, many are ready to jump into their next adventure in the Paldea region.
After the successful launch of DLC in Gen 8’s Sword & Shield, fans of the Pokemon franchise have been hoping for a similar announcement for Pokemon Scarlet & Violet. With leaks and theories running rampant on social media, fans have theorized everything from returning to the Kanto region to reintroducing the Mega Evolution mechanic.
Thankfully, trainers finally got an answer following the 2023 Pokemon Presents that aired Monday, February 27.
