Pokkén Tournament DX gets new Pokémon fighters in upcoming DLC

Aegislash and Blastoise join the battle!

I know, I know, it’s not the Pokémon RPG game, but this is still pretty exciting.

Nintendo announced during their Mini Direct today that Pokkén Tournament DX will be getting new DLC, and with new DLC comes new Pokémon fighters. The DLC will come in two waves:

Wave 1 will feature 6th generation Pokémon Aegislash as a playable fighter, with Mega Rayquaza and Mimikyu as support Pokémon. It is scheduled to launch on the 31st of January.

Wave 2 will feature everyone’s favourite water starter Blastoise as a playable fighter, with Mew and Celebi as support Pokémon. It is scheduled to launch on the 23rd of March.

Players will not be able to purchase these packs individually, instead coming as a package deal for $22.50AUD, which is available to purchase now. For those who haven’t jumped on board the Pokkén train yet, there is also a bundle available for $112.45, which includes both the base game and the DLC.

You can view the trailer for the DLC below.
