Pokemon Scarlet and Violet Physical Release to Include DLC
Original (9/26): Nintendo has announced a new physical release for Pokemon Scarlet and Pokemon Violet that will include The Hidden Treasure of Area Zero DLC. It has been confirmed for Europe and Japan thus far, and presumably North America will be seeing it on the same day as well.
This is a bit of an odd move as not all of the content will be included on the cartridge. The Teal Mask is immediately accessible, but players will need to download an update for The Indigo Disk. It’s unclear why Nintendo and The Pokemon Company aren’t simply waiting for the second part of the DLC to ship out a complete physical version.
The new Pokemon Scarlet and Violet physical release with the DLC is due out on November 3, 2023. Those who purchase the package will be given a serial code for 100 Poke Balls as a bonus.
Update: North America Confirmed
Update: The same package has indeed been confirmed for North America. It will also drop on November 3.
Pre-Orders Now Open on Amazon
Update 2 (9/28): Pre-orders are now open on Amazon. You can reserve the Pokemon Scarlet version here and Pokemon Violet version here.

November 3, 2023, is an exciting date for Pokemon fans as Nintendo has recently announced a new physical release for Pokemon Scarlet and Pokemon Violet. This release will include The Hidden Treasure of Area Zero DLC, providing players with additional content to enhance their gaming experience. While the physical release has been confirmed for Europe and Japan, it is highly likely that North America will also see the same release on the same day.
However, it’s worth noting that not all of the DLC content will be included on the cartridge. Players will have immediate access to the Teal Mask, but they will need to download an update for The Indigo Disk. The decision to release an incomplete physical version raises questions as to why Nintendo and The Pokemon Company didn’t wait for the second part of the DLC to ship a complete physical edition.
Despite this, fans can look forward to the new Pokemon Scarlet and Violet physical release with the DLC on November 3, 2023. As an added bonus, those who purchase the package will receive a serial code for 100 Poke Balls.
North America Confirmed
