Pokémon Direct
Pokémon Sword & Shield Coming To Switch This November
Nintendo revealed the release date for Pokémon Sword & Shield this morning during its special Nintendo Direct on the Switch game. What are you doing this November?
Both versions of the game will be coming to Switch on November 15. That date's the same for everyone across the globe, which is great considering the title's new Max Raid Battles, in which up to four trainers team up to battle, either online or via local wireless multiplayer.
In addition to the release date, Nintendo showed off a special double pack that includes both versions of the game. It's available for preorder starting today. You can watch the full Pokémon Direct below.

I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
