Pokopia Adds Free Underwater Dive Update This August

Pokopia is receiving a free update this August that adds the Dive ability, letting every Ditto swim underwater for the first time.

The free update unlocks underwater building and exploration. Ditto can now dive into the ocean, build there, and interact with water Pokemon under the waves. The update arrives alongside the first installment of a paid expansion pass also scheduled for August.

Underwater space and resources have been visible but inaccessible since launch. The new Dive feature addresses that limitation and removes the need for players to suck up the entire ocean to access building projects.

A paid expansion pass brings three major updates. The pass includes three major content drops, with the first arriving in August. It adds an entirely new underwater area called Bubbly Basin along with a number of new Pokemon specific to that environment.

The announcements came during today's Nintendo Direct. The presentation showed Ditto trotting to the water's edge and diving in to demonstrate the new capability.

Both updates target longstanding player expectations. The free Dive update has been anticipated given the clearly visible underwater assets present since the game's release. The paid pass extends that content with dedicated new zones and creatures.
