While Pokemon Scarlet & Violet might not be as widely acclaimed as some of the other recent iterations of the franchise, the DLCs did deliver on several fronts. The Indigo Disk expansion, in particular, has set a benchmark for some of the most challenging battles in the franchise's history and also brought back some beloved Pokemon that fans have been yearning for.
Not to forget, new mechanics such as Blueberry Quests have also added a nice twist to the gameplay. While many thought the game would conclude with the DLC, the developers surprised fans with a Pokemon Scarlet & Violet Epilogue announcement. Thankfully, players don't have to wait for too long to hop into the content.
Pokemon Scarlet & Violet Epilogue - Release Time (When Can You Start Playing?)
The Epilogue for Pokemon Scarlet and Pokemon Violet will be available on January 11 at 9 am ET, and players can find the release time for different regions in the table down below.
Surprisingly, the release time of the Epilogue follows a pretty unique approach. Usually, games are released at midnight as per the region of the Nintendo account, but the Epilogue will be released at the same time all across the world. This was confirmed in the announcement trailer. Usually, players can use a different account based in New Zealand or Australia to play a Nintendo game early, but this will not be possible for this game.
