Pokemon Sword & Shield Expansion Pass Pre-Order Guide: Price, Release Window, And More

While Pokemon Sword and Shield regularly hold limited-time events, many fans are likely anxiously awaiting the pair of expansions set to release later this year. Isle of Armor and The Crown Tundra are replacing the "third game" that usually comes a year or two after a new pair of Pokemon games release. Though an exact release date hasn't been set for either expansion, we know Isle of Armor releases in June and The Crown Tundra arrives this fall. The expansions are available to pre-order now through multiple retailers and the Nintendo Eshop.

The expansions will not be sold individually, so you have to buy the Expansion Pass for $30 to gain access to both Isle of Armor and The Crown Tundra. Considering that The Pokemon Company and Nintendo previously charged full price for the "definitive" third version of each game, the new model is probably preferable for most fans.

Both expansions feature their own regions and storylines. Isle of Armor takes place on an island off the coast of Galar that houses a dojo led by Leon's former mentor Mustard (yes, that's his actual name). The Crown Tundra is set on a snowy mountain and leans more into exploration. All told, the expansions will add more than 200 old Pokemon to Sword and Shield's Pokedex.
