Pokemon Sword/Shield Expansion Pass

Nintendo has shared a new commercial to promote the Expansion Pass for Pokemon Sword/Shield. We’ve included the advert below.

The first part of the Expansion Pass, The Isle of Armor, launches on June 17. The Crown Tundra will follow this fall.

Mortal Kombat 11 recently received its Aftermath expansion. But this month, Warner Bros. will be distributing the Mortal Kombat 11: Aftermath Kollection at retail, which includes everything released for the game so far. The thing is, it doesn’t look like you’ll actually be getting a cartridge.

That news comes straight from an Amazon listing. The game’s boxart has been updated with a label clearly stating that there’s no game card included. And if you needed any further confirmation, the listing on Amazon Canada states outright that you’ll only be getting a code in the box.

If you do want to pick up Mortal Kombat 11: Aftermath Kollection, you’ll be able to do so on June 16.
