The first paid expansion for the Nintendo Switch 2 title Pokémon Pokopia will launch on August 5, 2026, according to reports from South Korean outlet 지디넷코리아 and Nintendo Korea. The content, branded as the "Boggle Boggle Undersea Village," introduces underwater construction and deep-sea exploration mechanics to the game.
지디넷코리아 reports that this marks the first wave of the game's Expansion Pass. Nintendo Korea confirmed the August 5 release date for both the paid content and a free update (Ver.2.0.0) on the same day. The free update will be available to all players, while the paid expansion adds the new undersea-themed area and activities.
The expansion is part of a broader paid content roadmap for Pokémon Pokopia. Nintendo Korea has also teased new information regarding the second wave of the Expansion Pass, though specific details on that content were not included in the available reporting. Pricing and bundle details for the Expansion Pass have been outlined by games.gg, according to the source summary.
Pokémon Pokopia is a title for the Nintendo Switch 2, Nintendo's latest console. The game's first major content drop focuses on a village located beneath the sea, allowing players to build structures underwater and venture into deep-sea zones for exploration. The combination of the paid expansion and the simultaneous free update suggests Nintendo is supporting the game with both premium and accessible content drops.
Players can expect the August 5 release to bring the new underwater village, building options, and exploration features. With the second Expansion Pass wave already announced, attention will turn to what additional environments or gameplay systems Nintendo reveals next for Pokémon Pokopia.
