During today's Pokémon Direct presentation, developer Game Freak took the opportunity to reveal that
Pokémon Sword and
Pokémon Shield will be getting an Expansion Pass that will be adding a lot more content for
Pokémon fans to sink their teeth into.
A bunch of cosmetics for players to fully customise their characters, as well as some brand-new
Pokémon for fans to capture and train at their leisure,
The Isle of Armor and
The Tundra Crown expansion passes will surely keep fans busy for a while.
Game Freak has revealed that each of the
Pokémon Sword expansion pass and
Pokémon Shield expansion pass will each cost $29.99 USD, and that
The Isle of Armor is expected to release at a yet-to-be-determined date in June of this year.
The Tundra Crown, on the other hand, still doesn't have a release date, but it is expected to become available at some point this Fall.

Pokémon Sword and
Pokémon Shield, be sure to check out the trailer down below, as well as the full Pokémon Direct presentation.

Pokémon Sword and Pokémon Shield will be set in Galar, an expansive region with many environments—idyllic countryside, contemporary cities, thick forests, and craggy, snow-covered mountains. The people and Pokémon live together in this region, and they’ve worked together to develop the industries here.
Pokémon Sword and Pokémon Shield are currently available exclusively for the Nintendo Switch.
