Pokémon Sword & Shield's Wild Area Is 'As Big As Two Regions From BOTW'

The launch of the next additions to everyone’s favourite Poké-franchise are right around the corner, and Pokémon Sword & Shield are two of the most highly-anticipated Nintendo Switch games of the year.

With less than a month until launch, Metro got to go hands-on with an exclusive preview of the titles, and we’ve definitely learned a lot from their review – especially when it comes to the Wild Area.

According to a Nintendo rep that spoke with the publication, [via GamesRadar] the Wild Area is where you’ll find a lot of the most exciting gameplay, and it’s actually a pretty big area to explore.

The rep states that the Wild Area is comparable to two combined regions from The Legend of Zelda: Breath Of The Wild. Although the rep didn’t clarify which two areas, it’s a safe bet to say that the Wild Area is going to be pretty huge – especially when compared to the size of other areas in the Pokémon franchise.
