In the recent Pokémon Presents of February 27, Game Freak and The Pokémon Company confirmed an expansion known as The Hidden Treasure of Area Zero which will bring with it new regions, adventures, and creatures for Scarlet and Violet. This DLC will be divided into Part 1 (The Teal Mask, available this fall) and Part 2 (The Indigo Disk, scheduled for the end of the year) and will bring back more than 200 pokémon whose names seem to have already been leaked.
