Pokemon Pokopia Goes Underwater for Free, with Paid DLC and New Towns

Nintendo unveils a free underwater update for Pokemon Pokopia arriving in August (2.0), adding a Ditto Dive ability and expanding the underwater town area. Simultaneously, a paid Expansion Pass unlocks future updates, including a new underwater town called Bubbly Basin with new furniture/outfits; the pass costs $35 alone or $105 with the base game and promises further content in late 2026 and another town in 2027. Buyers by August 31, 2027 receive a code for 30 rare Pokemetal ingots and a Ditto-themed wallpaper/print block. The rollout notes requirements to access Dive (raise Bleak Beach environment level and know Jump and Surf), leading to some confusion about the exact flow.

"Persona 3 Reload Expansion Pass Controversy: Fans React to Epilogue DLC"

Fans of Persona 3 Reload are criticizing Atlus for announcing a $35 expansion pass just one month after assuring players that the game offered a "complete experience." The expansion pass, which includes additional content such as background music from Persona 4 Golden and Persona 5 Royal, has been labeled a "cash grab" by some fans who had already purchased the Collector's Edition. This move has led to a significant increase in negative Steam reviews, with many expressing disappointment and frustration over the perceived lack of transparency and value for their initial purchase.

"Exploring Splatoon 3's Side Order DLC: A Comprehensive Review"

Splatoon 3's Side Order, part of the paid Expansion Pass, offers a Rogue Lite experience set within the world of Splatoon, featuring a fresh take on the franchise with players taking on the role of Agent 8. The mode involves climbing a tower floor by floor, selecting challenges, and upgrading with Color Chips. While fun initially, the mode suffers from limited variety, repetitive boss fights, and a tedious end-game grind, with the absence of voice acting hindering the storytelling experience. Despite its enjoyable gameplay concept, it may become repetitive for players seeking to unlock everything, and improvements in variety are hoped for in future iterations of the game.
