New Pokémon Snap: 3 new areas with 20 more Pokémon coming this week

The Pokémon Company have announced that a new Software update for New Pokémon Snap will be released next week on August 3rd (North America) / August 4th (Europe, Japan). It will add no less than 3 new areas, with 20 additional Pokémon to discover!

Here’s a trailer showcasing the new areas:

And here’s details and some footage for each of the new areas:

  • Secret Side Path (Day/Night) – The NEO-ONE shrinks to a tiny size when you explore this area, so the Pokémon you see will look gigantic! You can even hear their breathing and footsteps in this thrilling area, and you might spot new kinds of behaviour from Pokémon you’ve seen before.
  • Mightywide River (Day/Night) – Mightywide River is a nurturing water source that provides the whole of Belusylva Island with sustenance. You’ll be conducting research as you ride down the river, so be on the lookout for rapids as you search for Pokémon, and keep your camera ready so you don’t miss capturing them in action.
  • Barren Badlands (Day/Night) – In this area, you’ll research the badlands of Voluca Island, where dry winds from the desert blow.​ This area has many peculiar features, from geysers to poisonous, gas-spewing swamps. Pokémon may be hiding underground or in the rocky cliffs, so keep your eyes peeled for them while you’re on your expedition.

Finally, here’s lots of screenshots:
