Pokemon Scarlet and Violet’s Next Big Update is Slated for Late February

The next major update for the open-world RPG Pokemon Scarlet and Violet is set for “late February”.

A recently press release has outlined the next major update release forPokemon Scarlet and Violet. The software update is said to be coming in “late February” which will include bug fixes and add functionality according to the press release. As for what else is in store currently, it is unknown, but maybe we will get an update a little closer to the release of version 1.2.

New video also release on the official Pokemon Youtube channel which celebrates 26 years of the original Pokemon game along with 1008 different encounters. That’s right, the Pokemon games have now passed one thousand Pokemon. In the latest entries, Pokemon Scarlet received the paradox Pokemon particularly Roaring Moon, Scream Tail, and Great Tusk. While Violet received Iron versions Iron Valiant, Iron Bundle, and Iron Treads. Of course new starter Pokemon and their evolutions were also introduced with grass cat-like type Sprigatito, water duck-type Quaxley and the loveable fire croc Pokemon Fuecoco. While their evolutions are debatable on cuteness, these further editions added to the massive over 1000 Pokemon in the franchise.

The game has continued to add further raids to take part in with the most recent being 7-star Tera Raid Battles. The latest raid being Cinderace, who will be having a return raid this weekend. The mention of “additional functionality” could mean some further improvement to current in-game systems, hopefully it provides a smoother experience overall.

It was an interesting year for Pokemon last year, as the franchise saw two major games (three if you count the different versions Scarlet/Violet). Pokemon Legends Arceus was also released. Not quite an open-world game, but did have open regions to roam and had players travelling back in time to the Hisui region to compile one of the first Pokedex. Its crafting, exploring and even running away from dangerous Pokemon (lest you get knocked out and lose previous items), was a refreshing experience with its cel-shade art style. It also received afree content update called Daybreak.
