Package news: The first major expansion for Pokopia, Bubbly Basin, has just received an official release date—next week, on August 5.
The date came to light via a Japanese commercial, verified by Serebii. While the advertisement offers a tantalizing glimpse, no further specifics have surfaced yet, leaving fans eager for the full reveal in the coming days.
During Nintendo’s June Direct, Bubbly Basin was introduced as a free update slated for August that will unlock underwater swimming for all players. The paid expansion pass will then add an entirely new, water‑themed town, bringing fresh Pokémon such as Mudkip and Popplio into the mix.
Beyond the initial update, the expansion pass promises two additional content drops: a second update later this year that will bring “additional new features,” though the details remain under wraps, and a third update next year that will introduce yet another town.
Since its launch, Pokopia players have clamored for the ability to swim beneath the waves, eager to harvest the ocean’s hidden resources that were previously only accessible by draining the entire sea. The latest update finally introduces underwater navigation, a feature that will reignite my nearly 100‑hour investment and pull me back into the game’s submerged realms.
