Aw snap, a free New Pokemon Snap update is coming next week

By Keith MitchellJuly 29, 2021
New Pokemon Snap

Heads up Pokemon Snap fans, Nintendo has just announced that new content is headed to Pokemon Snap next week. This will be a free update and will go live on August 3rd, 2021, and will add three new areas to visit. New Pokemon will also be added, including those already familiar from players’ journey across the Lental region as well as 20 more Pokémon that couldn’t be found before.

Here are the new areas you’ll be able to explore once the update goes live.

  • Secret Side Path (Day/Night) – The NEO-ONE shrinks to a tiny size when you explore this area, so the Pokémon you see will look gigantic! You can even hear their breathing and footsteps in this thrilling area, and you might spot new kinds of behavior from Pokémon you’ve seen before.
  • Mightywide River (Day/Night) – Mightywide River is a nurturing water source that provides the whole of Belusylva Island with sustenance. You’ll be conducting research as you ride down the river, so be on the lookout for rapids as you search for Pokémon, and keep your camera ready so you don’t miss capturing them in action.
  • Barren Badlands (Day/Night) – In this area, you’ll research the badlands of Voluca Island, where dry winds from the desert blow.​ This area has many peculiar features, from geysers to poisonous, gas-spewing swamps. Pokémon may be hiding underground or in the rocky cliffs, so keep your eyes peeled for them while you’re on your expedition.

Be on the look for the new content when it launches on August 3rd, 2021, exclusively for the Nintendo Switch.  And while you’re here, be sure to check out our review of Pokemon Snap.
