A final released date has come in for Vernal Edge, a fast-paced Metroidvania game. Publisher PID Games and developer Hello Penguin Team confirmed today that it’s due out on March 14, 2023.
Vernal Edge was first confirmed for Switch last August. There was no word on a release window at the time.
If you need a refresher on the game, check out the following overview:
Thanks to a datamine, the near-complete list of returning Pokemon for the upcoming Pokemon Scarlet and Pokemon Violet DLC has apparently been revealed.
Version 1.2.0 dropped for both games today. Twitter user mattyoukhana_ discovered that instead of stubbing them, Game Freak deleted Pokedex entries for a ton of Pokemon. That’s what gives us the lineup of returning creatures. Some fans may recall that something similar happened with the DLC for Pokemon Sword and Shield.
Here’s the full list:
The Switch rumor mill is on fire again, as a leaker has come forward claiming that a new model will be released alongside the second DLC for Pokemon Scarlet and Violet – otherwise known as The Indigo Disk.
That information stems from a 4chan user – which we would normally dismiss – but this person seems to have at least some insider knowledge. A post was made to the site last Friday, a few days before the new Pokemon Presents aired with the DLC reveal. This user, who says he’s a programmer working for an outsourcing company, ended up getting just about everything correct between rough names of the DLC, new Pokemon, and more.
Thanks to Eastasiasoft and AOne Game, we now have a release date for Omen of Sorrow. The game launches on March 23, 2023, the two sides announced today.
Omen of Sorrow, a monster horror fighting title, was announced for Switch exactly one year ago. A release window was not provided at the time.
Here’s a bunch of information straight from Eastasiasoft:
The February 2023 Pokemon Presents had lots of news and announcements, and we have a recap of it all via the official announcement. If you missed the presentation or are looking for a recap, the new press release should come in handy.

Today’s Pokemon Presents event contained a ton of information about Pokemon Scarlet / Violet, including the reveal of DLC and news that past creatures will be returning.
The Pokemon Company has now passed along word that fans “will be able to encounter over 230 familiar Pokemon that have been found living in other regions but had not appeared in Pokemon Scarlet and Pokemon Violet.” This includes creatures they’ll be able to bring to their games via Pokemon Home or those received in trades.

Three more Pokemon have just been revealed for the Pokemon Scarlet and Violet DLC, with The Pokemon Company showing off Okidogi, Munkidori, and Fezandipiti. These creatures “are beloved by the people of the village as heroes that protected the land of Kitakami in the past, and stone statues were made in their likeness to express the people’s gratitude.”
The DLC for Pokemon Scarlet and Pokemon Violet kicks off with The Teal Mask and The Indigo Disk. As we previously detailed, The Teal Mask sends you off on a school trip to the land of Kitakami, where a great mountain towers over the land and the people live at its base. The Pokemon Company has teased that you’ll “meet new friends and Pokémon as they unravel the mysteries behind the folktales that have been passed down in this land.” Okidogi, Munkidori, and Fezandipiti will all be appearing in The Teal Mask, but we don’t have any other specifics.
Here’s a closer look at Okidogi, Munkidori, and Fezandipiti:
There’s more to come for Pokemon Scarlet and Pokemon Violet in the future, as new DLC for the games is on the way known as The Hidden Treasures of Area Zero. This was just announced during today’s Pokemon Presents presentation.
Two parts for the DLC are planned. The first part, The Teal Mask, launches in Fall 2023. That’ll be followed by The Indigo Disk in Winter 2023.
Two new Paradox Pokemon have just been revealed for Pokemon Scarlet and Pokemon Violet – specifically Walking Wake and Iron Leaves. They are based on Suicune and Virizion.
These creatures are planned to be featured in a new 5-star Tera Raid Battle event. It’ll be going live not too long after today’s Pokemon Presents presentation, but it will end on Sunday, March 12, 2023, at 23:59 UTC.
Nearly four years after it was originally announced, Pokemon Sleep has finally reemerged. The app was shown off during today’s Pokemon Presents live stream and it was confirmed that the app launches in 2023.
In Pokemon Sleep, users will join Professor Neroli – who studies Pokémon sleep styles – and Snorlax, to carry out research into how Pokemon sleep. Also, the new Pokemon GO Plus + accessory will be compatible to track sleep in conjunction with a smartphone. The Pokemon GO Plus + will be available on July 14, 2023.
