Here are the release dates and times for Pokemon Scarlet and Violet’s first DLC Expansion: The Teal Mask.
Introducing the ninth generation of Pokemon, it should come as no surprise that Pokemon Scarlet & Violet has its own DLC Expansion Pack. Much like its eighth generation predecessor, Pokemon Sword & Shield, the first part of the Scarlet/Violet DLC releases months in advance before the final part.
Pokemon Scarlet & Violet‘s DLC Expansion Pass (The Hidden Treasure of Area) is for The Teal Mask and the Indigo Disk. Both can be bought through the Nintendo eShop on the Nintendo Switch for $34.99. The Teal Mask is set to release September 12-13, 2023 depending on the area. Players are advised to observe the list below to get the exact time and date of Scarlet/Violet‘s DLC.
