When Will The Hidden Treasure of Area Zero’s Epilogue Be Out?
What will players need to do to play the Hidden Treasure of Area Zero Epilogue?
At the moment, many details of the epilogue are not yet known though. It’s expected to be a somewhat story-focused segment that will be shorter than the DLC, but it can’t be ruled out that the new epilogue may bring new Pokemon to the game.Pokemon Scarlet and Violetdo not have a Gen 9 mythical creature yet, so it is a good time to introduce them. Especially because theGen 9 mythical Pecharuntwas datamined alongside this epilogue and seems to be teased at the end of the trailer.
This epilogue will likely be the last real expansion the games will receive, so fans are certainly wondering what the future of thePokemonfranchise will bring. At the moment, there are some hints that a classic setting may return. Recent rumors indicate that the nextPokemongame may be set in Unova or Johto.The Indigo DiskDLC includes a Johto reference, for example, which has been fueling the speculation at this point. Unfortunately, fans will only know for sure when it’s officially announced, which will probably happen after January 11.
