Pokemon Legends: Arceus has been out on Nintendo Switch, Nintendo Switch Lite, and Nintendo Switch OLED for roughly a week, and according to most, it’s one of the best Pokemon games in years. Thus, it should come as no surprise that it’s selling extremely well and it is reviewing well. And like Pokemon Sword and Shield, it looks like it will be bolstered with DLC releases. How do we know this? Because of the game’s files and the dataminers that have leaked the content of these files.
To this end, a prominent Pokemon leaker is teasing that “something [is] coming in April.” What this is, we don’t know, but many Pokemon fans think it’s a DLC tease, though others have thrown around the rumored Detective Pikachu 2, Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl DLC, and Gen-9 as possibilities. The most former is a possibility, but it’s not clear how the image below would be teasing that. Meanwhile, the middle option is probably the most likely possibility after Pokemon Legends: Arceus DLC. And then there are the Gen-9 shouts, which while hopeful, are definitely off the mark. Gen-9 is probably a 2023 game.
Below, you can check out the tease for yourself:

“Pokemon Legends: Arceus is easily the strongest Pokemon game made in recent memory and should provide unforgettable memories that rival the first time a player first encountered a favorite Pokemon or conquered their first Pokemon Champion fight,” reads a snippet from our official review of the game. “It’s a must-buy Pokemon game destined to land on many ‘top games of the year’ lists and should bring countless new and lapsed fans to the franchise.
