Not to forget, new mechanicssuch as Blueberry Questshave also added a nice twist to the gameplay.

Pokemon Scarlet & Violet Epilogue - Release Time (When Can You Start Playing?)

The Epilogue forPokemon ScarletandPokemon Violetwill be available on January 11 at 9 am ET, and players can find the release time for different regions in the table down below.

Surprisingly, the release time of theEpilogue follows a pretty unique approach. Usually, games are released at midnight as per the region of the Nintendo account, but the Epilogue will be released at the same time all across the world. This was confirmed in the announcement trailer. Usually, players can use a different account based in New Zealand or Australia to play a Nintendo game early, but this will not be possible for this game.
