Pokemon Sword and Shield were announced during the Pokemon Direct, showing a new map called Galar Region and new starter Pokemon for players to choose; Grookey, Scorbunny, or Sobble. The game will launch simultaneously worldwide in late 2019.
Pokémon Sword and Pokémon Shield will be set in Galar, an expansive region with many environments—idyllic countryside, contemporary cities, thick forests, and craggy, snow-covered mountains. The people and Pokémon live together in this region, and they’ve worked together to develop the industries here.
You’ll visit the various Gyms in the Galar region, aiming for the enviable and admirable title of Champion!
