Pokemon Scarlet & Violet DLC: Indigo Disk Release Time

Those hoping to find out when they can download Indigo Disk have come to the right place, as this guide contains release times for the Pokemon DLC.

Following the success of the first DLC expansion for Pokemon Scarlet & Violet, franchise fans are excited to find out just what the Indigo Disk has in store for them. From what little’s been shown of it so far, it seems safe to assume that the Indigo Disk DLC will be both bigger and better than its predecessor in almost every measurable way, with 25 returning Legendary Pokemon already confirmed for the expansion.

When compared to some of their predecessors, Pokemon Scarlet & Violet are a little light on Mythical and Legendary Pokemon at launch.

Given the excitement surrounding the expansion, it’s easy to see why so many Pokemon Scarlet & Violet players are eager to find out the release time for Indigo Disk and when they can start playing. Although Nintendo is still to confirm this as of the time of writing, it’s possible to get a pretty good idea of what time Indigo Disk will be released based on previous DLC expansions for Nintendo games.

Previous Pokemon DLC expansions have typically gone live at 10 AM JST. As such, it seems fair to assume that the Indigo Disk DLC will be released at 8 PM Eastern Time on December 13. This assumption is supported by the fact that the US Pokemon website states that “The Indigo Disk Arrives December 13”, despite the fact that the official release date for the expansion is December 14. Assuming this isn’t just a mistake on Nintendo’s part and the DLC follows the same pattern as previous Pokemon expansions, expected worldwide release times for the Indigo Disk can be found in the table below:
