Nintendo Switch’s New Pokémon Snap Adding Free DLC, More Areas

It’s been three months since New Pokémon Snap got here alongside to brighten up our Switches, that means there’s a good probability you’ve explored far and broad, and even perhaps snapped ‘em all. So excellent news: a free replace is arriving August 3, including in three new areas, and 20 new Pokémon.

In what actually appears to be like prefer it might simply have been paid DLC, the brand new downloadable freebie goes so as to add in three new units of rails to experience, new monsters, new behaviors for outdated Pokémon to {photograph}, and every with their very own day and night time mode.

First up is Secret Facet Path, wherein your NEO-ONE (the bubble-like car wherein you experience) will apparently shrink down all tiny, so the Pokémon look huge. Which is brilliantly daft. The announcement for the DLC provides, “You possibly can even hear their respiration and footsteps on this thrilling space,” which frankly sounds terrifying.

Then comes Mightywide River, which is seemingly the supply of Belusylva Island’s contemporary water. It’s a river experience, together with rapids, which doesn’t maybe appear supreme circumstances for nature images.

Lastly is Barren Badlands, set on Voluca Island, the place many a Pokémon coach has visited, however none has ever returned. Plagued by the corpses of earlier photographers, it’s a land dominated by grotesquely pierced and tattooed Jigglypuffs, and battle-hardened Pichus that may quickly as tear off your face as excitedly rock from foot to foot… OK, sorry, I’m mendacity. Nevertheless it ought to have been that. As a substitute the so-called “Badlands” are only a bit dusty, with some toxic swamps, and a vanishingly small probability of being held in a cage suspended over a ravine as a pawn in a struggle during the last scraps of potable water.

They don’t but say which these 20 new pocket monsters shall be, however see if you happen to can spot any within the trailer. There’s lower than every week to attend to seek out out. The content material will drop at 6pm PDT on August 3.
