The surprising news of an expansion card for Pokémon Sword and Shield dropped last week, which will cover two DLC areas and over 200 new Pokémon that will be added to the game. The paid expansion card has been enthusiastically received by some fans, and by the cold of others when people disagreed on the business model.
The DLC will introduce two new areas, Isle of Armor and Crown of Tundra, along with hundreds of new Pokémon to catch and add to your collection. Priced at $ 29,99 in America and £ 26,99 in the UK, not everyone is a fan of having to pay that price. The good news is that some retailers will sell it a bit cheaper.
In the UK, CD Keys sells expansion cards for £ 21.49, while in North America, instant play is selling for $ 28,38. While the savings aren't huge, any little extra money you can save is always a good thing. This is even more important if you own a copy of Sword and Shield, because if you want to play Expansion Pass content with both games, you will need to purchase it twice. Other retailers will certainly sell the Expansion Pass at a discounted price, so be sure to shop around before purchasing it.
When you go to order the expansion card, be sure to order the correct version for the game you own. According to Nintendo, there are two different expansion passes, one for each game. If you don't have the games yet, you will be able to purchase special packs from the Nintendo eShop site that will include the game of your choice and the game pass. corresponding extension.
