Pokémon Scarlet/Violet expansion ‘The Hidden Treasure of Area Zero’ gets gameplay trailer

Back in February during a special Pokemon Presents stream, Game Freak officially unveiled two upcoming expansions for Pokemon Scarlet and Violet. To open up today's Nintendo Direct, we got our first look at The Hidden Treasure of Area Zero. 

The gameplay trailer gives us a good look at new locations and Pokemon to discover in both Part 1 (The Teal Mask) and Part 2 (The Indigo Disk):

Both expansions combined make up The Hidden Treasure of Area Zero campaign. Unfortunately, there is no release date at this time, but we know The Teal Mask is due out in the Fall and The Indigo Disk should launch this winter.

The Pokemon section of the Direct stream capped off with the announcements of a new special Tera Raid event available today in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet. Players can also enter the mystery gift code ‘TREASUREHUNT' to receive some useful in-game items, including 10x rare candy, 10x nugget and 1x Friend Ball.

KitGuru Says: While I was initially excited for Pokemon Scarlet and Violet I have struggled to keep myself playing it. Will many of you be returning to Scarlet or Violet for the upcoming expansions?

KitGuru Games: DLSS 5 misses the point

It would be hard to argue that NVIDIA’s DLSS technologies haven’t been a net positive to the PC space, with the machine-learning based upscaler successfully translating lower resolution inputs into a final image which is perceivably sharper while hogging fewer resources. Though somewhat more contentious, the next evolution of DLSS came in the form of Frame Generation, using ML in order to generate additional frames for high-refresh rate gaming. Both techniques can have their issues, but generally speaking they’ve allowed for more people to experience higher-end titles at increased frame rates. DLSS 5, however, takes a sharp pivot, with a very different end goal in mind than the performance-boosting versions that came before.
