Explore the Crown Tundra October 22nd - Pokémon Sword & Shield Expansion Update

The Journey in Galar Continues

Nintendo and The Pokémon Company have revealed new details about the upcoming Pokémon Sword and Shield expansion, The Crown Tundra. Check out an overview of all new features in the presentation video below.



The Crown Tundra is the second area you’ll be able to visit with your Expansion Pass. See for yourself this vast landscape, with its drifts of glittering snow! In this frigid area with jagged, snowy mountains, people have settled in a small, tight-knit community.

Early in your adventures here, a man named Peony will appoint you as the leader of his exploration team in the Crown Tundra. You’ll be tasked with investigating the reaches of this frozen land—including the depths of a Pokémon Den, something you’ve so far been able to glimpse only during Max Raid Battles!

What’s more, it seems many Legendary Pokémon make the Crown Tundra their home.

The Crown Tundra will be available on Nintendo Switch October 22nd and is part of the Pokémon Sword/Shield expansion pass that also includes The Isle of Armor DLC.
