Just like we saw with Pok\u00e9mon Scarlet and Violet<\/a>‘s The Hidden Treasure of Area Zero<\/a> back in 2023, the Legends: Z-A Mega Dimension<\/a> DLC is getting a boxed release.<\/p>\n

The eagle-eyed amongst you will notice that we said “boxed” there, and not “physical”, because once again, yes, this is another code-in-a-box situation.<\/p>\n

The announcement was made on the Malaysian Nintendo website<\/a>, confirming that the DLC will be available in “selected retailers” from 19th March<\/strong>. To be clear, you’ll still need a copy of Pok\u00e9mon Legends: Z-A<\/a> on Switch 1 or 2 to make the most of the download code, but we suppose it’s something for anyone who really<\/em> wants a box on their shelf.<\/p>\n

While a wider global release hasn’t been confirmed at the time of writing, both Scarlet and Violet and<\/em> Sword and Shield<\/a>‘s DLC ended up getting a physical release later down the line<\/a> (albeit with some content as a required download), so we wouldn’t be surprised to see Mega Dimension follow suit at some point.<\/p>\n

Until then, you can still pick up the Z-A DLC digitally via the eShop. “The core of Pok\u00e9mon and the highs of Pok\u00e9mon Legends: Z-A just about manage to shine through in the Mega Dimension DLC,” we said in our review<\/a> of the expansion, “but the repetitive Hyperspace dimensions, bland level design, and dull donut making stop this from being a true Mega Evolution for the game.”<\/p>\n
