Rumor: New DLC of Pokémon Sword and Shield coming in 2021?

A new rumor about the presence of a new DLC for Pokémon Sword and Shield, which appeared on 4Chan on February 22, 2020 and recently rediscovered, is sending the entire Pokémon community into turmoil: the alleged leaker has, in the first place, correctly predicted the release of a ” simple remake , which does not replace Pokémon Sword and Shield , containing the Sinnoh Pokédex and 100 other Pokémon,” a description particularly fitting to Pokémon Shining Diamond and Shining Pearl . A particularly difficult assumption to guess, as the vast majority of fans would have expected a game that used the same style as Pokémon Sword and Shieldand that it “replaced” it as a chapter in the main series of reference : a fact certainly in favor of the credibility of the post.

Immediately after, the user declares the information that is causing much discussion: the arrival, in 2021, of a new DLC of Pokémon Sword and Shield that introduces all the monsters currently missing from the eighth generation games, as well as three new creatures mysterious.

Finally, the rumor adds to the information a mysterious Project Kingin, due in 2022: could this be the codename for Pokémon Legends: Arceus, due out at the very beginning of next year, which would continue Game Freak’s tradition of giving temporary names to their upcoming works?

Please take the leak with a grain of salt: despite the credibility of the leak, it’s certainly possible that it’s one of the many pranksters that populate 4chan. In the event of a real leak, it would be yet another case involving Game Freak: a phenomenon that the Japanese company seems unable to adequately remedy.
