Exclusive Insider Leak: Unveiling the Epic Release Date for Pokemon Scarlet and Violet's Indigo Disk DLC!
Discovering the release date for Pokemon Scarlet and Violet's Indigo Disk DLC becomes an intriguing task as their first anniversary draws near, potentially hinting at a launch just before the official start of winter
Highlights
The Indigo Disk DLC for Pokemon Scarlet and Violet is set to release in Winter 2023, continuing the story from The Teal Mask.
Fans are eagerly anticipating an evolution for Dipplin in The Indigo Disk DLC, as rumors circulate. The potential release dates for the DLC are November 15 or 22, or the week of December 13, which might align with the Winter Solstice.
Trainers embarked on a journey to the land of Kitakami in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet with the release of The Teal Mask DLC. They encountered the enigmatic Ogerpon and delved into its mysteries. As Winter 2023 approaches, players of Pokemon Scarlet and Violet will eagerly anticipate The Indigo Disk, as it continues the story from where The Teal Mask left off. Once the DLC is available, trainers will visit Blueberry Academy and discover the truth behind the legendary Pokemon Terapagos and the Terastal phenomenon.
The anticipation for The Indigo Disk DLC grows stronger as rumors circulate, especially about the potential evolution of Dipplin. With some important dates on the horizon, The Pokemon Company has a couple of opportunities to release The Indigo Disk during the Winter 2023 timeframe. Moreover, the timing of these dates presents a perfect chance for Pokemon Scarlet and Violet to capitalize on the excitement.
The First Anniversary of Pokemon Scarlet and Violet Is Coming Soon
Although this date may fall outside of the Winter 2023 timeframe, an important anniversary in the ninth generation is quickly approaching. Pokemon Scarlet and Violet were launched on November 18, 2022, and it is possible that The Indigo Disk's release may be aligned with the game's initial release window. Despite the numerous bugs and game-breaking issues that continue to arise in these games, Pokemon trainers persist in participating in Tera raid battles and competitive battles in Paldea. These battles involve facing legendary Pokemon like Mewtwo and evolved forms of previous starter Pokemon such as Charizard and Decidueye.
Considering that the Blueberry Academy DLC focuses on Pokemon battles, as evidenced by the leaked Pokedex of The Indigo Disk, The Pokemon Company has an opportunity to emphasize competition during the game's release period. However, since November 18 falls on a Saturday, it seems less likely that The Indigo Disk will be released during the weekend. The Pokemon Company tends to favor weekday releases, as seen with The Teal Mask and Pokemon Sword and Shield's DLC. Taking into account this preference and the fact that Black Friday falls on the weekend after the games' first anniversary, it is possible that The Pokemon Company may choose to release The Indigo Disk in the days immediately before or after the anniversary. This leaves November 15 and 22 as plausible options. Alternatively, the developer may opt for a later release window that aligns more closely with the Winter 2023 timeframe.
The Indigo Disk May Release The Week Before Winter Officially Begins
The Teal Mask was originally scheduled for a Fall 2023 release, but it ended up being released earlier alongside Pokemon Scarlet and Violet Patch 2.0.1 on September 12. This made it technically a late summer release. Applying the same logic to The Indigo Disk, December is still a possibility. Since The Teal Mask was released during the middle of the week, it's possible that The Indigo Disk will follow suit.
Based on these factors, trainers of Pokemon Scarlet and Violet should consider the week of December 13 as the most likely release date for The Indigo Disk. However, if Pokemon Scarlet and Violet want to be more daring, they could release The Indigo Disk in the first days of winter, around the Winter Solstice on December 22 in Japan. With just over a week between the solstice and the new year, The Pokemon Company would have a narrow window for releasing The Indigo Disk, considering various global holidays in December. Pokemon trainers should stay tuned to social media for updates on The Indigo Disk and any new or returning Pokemon that will be included in the DLC.
Pokemon Scarlet and Violet are available now for Nintendo Switch, with The Indigo Disk launching in Winter 2023.
