The free update releases this August.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">This means that players will be able to continue their building projects deep into the ocean, which could really add a new dimension to things.

This will grant access to a trio of forthcoming DLC packs, though they can also be purchased separately. We don&#8217;t have details on all of this content, but we do know there will be a new underwater town, with new furniture, outfits and, of course, new Pok\u00e9mon to hang out with.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">The first DLC that includes the underwater city launches in August, likely alongside the diving update. The second drop is scheduled for later this year and includes &#8220;additional new features.&#8221; The third paid update will be released in 2027 and includes yet another town.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Pok\u00e9mon Pokopia \u2013 Launch Trailer \u2013 Nintendo Switch 2\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/-zpr21HzJ9Q?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">For the uninitiated, <em>Pok\u00e9mon Pokopia<\/em> is one heck of a good game.
