What we know

Nintendo introduced during the Nintendo Direct livestream on Wednesday the additional new features of the paid Expansion Pass DLC part 2 of Pokémon Pokopia , its cozy-style life simulation crafting game for the Pokémon franchise . The DLC part 2 includes accessories such as sunglasses, Sylveon ribbon, and bow tie. The DLC will also include Doduo, Skitty, Braixen, and more Pokémon.

The game's DLC part 2 will release later this year.

The game's paid Expansion Pass DLC added the underwater Bubbly Basin town on August 5 as part 1 of the pass, and it will add another town in 2027 as part 3. Purchasing the DLC gives players a bonus Dynamic Ditto print recipe and bonus Rare Pokémetal in-game. The free update that launched with part 1 of the DLC included new Pokémon such as Manaphy, Popplio, Mudkip, Chinchou, Lanturn, Buizel, Corphish, Totodile, Dhelmise, Golisopod, Corsola, Frillish, Lumineon, and Sharpedo.

The free update adds the ability for players to explore and build underwater in existing towns using the new ability to Dive.

Our opinion

This is the sort of expansion that makes a cosy game feel more like a proper long-term hobby, provided the extras are genuinely useful rather than busywork. The accessories are a neat reason to revisit the island, but the value will depend on how much the expansion pass actually adds beyond the novelty.
