Everything we know about The Hidden Treasure of Area Zero Pokémon Scarlet and Violet DLC

The Pokémon Scarlet and Violet Hidden Treasure of Area Zero DLC consists of two different adventures: The Teal Mask, and The Indigo Disk.

The first Scarlet and Violet DLC, The Teal Mask, is set to release in Fall 2023 and includes:

New Kitakami region, described as a land where 'a great mountain towers over the land and the people live at its base'.
Returning Pokémon from past generations that were not included in the base game (230 in total over the two DLCs).
New Pokémon Okidogi, Munkidori, Fezandipiti and Legendary Pokémon Ogerpon.
New characters (including Trainers Carmine and Kieron as seen in official artwork).
New outfit.
New story involving joining an outdoors study program held between your academy and another school, and unraveling mysteries behind the folktales that have been passed down in Kitakami.

The new Pokémon Okidogi, Munkidori, Fezandipiti and Ogerpon are beloved by the people of a village as heroes that protected the land of Kitakami in the past, with stone statues made in their likeness to express the people's gratitude

There will also be a festival to experience, as one is regularly held in the village in Kitakami during the season The Teal Mask is set in, so the village will be bustling with various street vendors and stalls to experience.

The second Scarlet and Violet DLC, The Indigo Disk, is set to release in Winter 2023 and includes:

Traveling to new school Blueberry Academy, which most of is located under the ocean, and its curriculum emphasizes Pokémon battling.
More returning Pokémon from past generations that were not included in the base game (230 in total over the two DLCs).
New Legendary Pokémon Terapagos
New outfit.
New characters.
Continuing the story of the first Teal Mask DLC.

Pokémon Scarlet and Violet Hidden Treasure of Area Zero DLC cost and how each version works explained

The Pokémon Scarlet and Violet Hidden Treasure of Area Zero costs £31.49, and includes both The Teal Mask and The Indigo Disk DLC expansions.

You need to have begun the Treasure Hunt in Pokémon Scarlet or Pokémon Violet to experience The Teal Mask DLC, which takes a few hours if playing from the beginning.

The Indigo Disk DLC has more requirements, so you need to reach the ending of Pokémon Scarlet or Violet, and complete the main story of The Teal Mask before you can start it.

It doesn't matter whether you've got the Scarlet or Violet version of the game, as you'll be able to play both of expansions no matter what one you have - but you do need to make sure that you're buying the correct version of the DLC that is compatible with the game, Scarlet or Violet, that you originally brought.

This is likely because each DLC will have a set of Pokémon which are exclusive to the version, be it Scarlet or Violet, that they're compatible with.

If you buy the wrong expansion version, then you won't be able to play it! So be careful when you purchase the DLC.

Pokémon Scarlet and Violet Hidden Treasure of Area Zero pre-order rewards

Additionally, if you buy The Hidden Treasure of Area Zero DLC before Tuesday, 31st October, 2023, you will get a Mystery Gift code that will give you a Hisuian Zoroark.
