Unlocking the Pokémon Scarlet & Violet Epilogue: What You Need to Know

Trainers, the wait is almost over. An upcoming update to Pokémon Scarlet & Violet is set to release the epilogue to the main story, but to access this new content, you'll need to tie up some loose ends.

Reaching the Epilogue: How to Access the New Content

If you're eager to experience the epilogue, you'll want to make sure you've completed certain parts of the main story. But what exactly does that entail? In this article, we'll break down what you need to do to unlock the epilogue and what to expect from this highly anticipated update.

Do I Need to Finish the Pokémon Scarlet & Violet DLC?

The short answer is yes. To access the epilogue, you'll need to have completed both The Teal Mask and The Indigo Disk DLC stories. This means that you'll need to purchase these additional storylines and play through them in their entirety before you can experience the epilogue.

If you're still working on completing the main story, don't worry – you can check your progress by seeing if you have access to the Blueberry Academy area. All players are required to have completed The Teal Mask before entering this area, and reaching the end of The Indigo Disk is another necessary step.

Another way to gauge your progress is to see if you can start hunting down the Legendary Pokémon that appear on Paldea. If you can do this, it means you've already completed The Indigo Disk and are ready to tackle the upcoming epilogue.

What to Expect from the Epilogue

So, what exactly can you expect from the epilogue? Unfortunately, it's still shrouded in mystery. However, many players believe that it will feature the mythical Pokémon that was originally thought to be part of The Indigo Disk. We can only hope that this elusive creature will make an appearance in the epilogue, which will take place in Kitakami, the location introduced in The Teal Mask DLC.

Release Date and Availability

The Pokémon Scarlet & Violet epilogue will release on January 11, 2023, at 9 AM EST, worldwide. It will be available as an update for all players who have reached the end of the main story, as well as the stories for both DLCs.
