Players will venture to the Galar region, where they will meet new starter Pokémon grass monkey Grookey, fire bunny Scorbunny and water lizard Sobble.

A whole new generation of Pokémon are coming too, along with a region full of adventures.
...
This game is aimed at both new players who first played Pokémon Go and the Let's Go games, but is also meant for fans of the original titles looking for a fresh challenge.
...
Pokémon Sword and Pokémon Shield will be coming out on Nintendo Switch, in "late 2019".

Looking forward to it, though as someone who's always chosen Grass-type starters, I have to say I'm not thrilled with Monkey-Bulbasaur at first glance. Bunny-Charmander looks pretty adorable, though.

Interwebs seems to be saying the region is based on the UK this time. (Insert Poke-Brexit joke.)

Today during the Pokémon Nintendo Direct, Nintendo announced two new expansions coming to Pokémon Sword and Shield. Instead of an additional game, where players play through the entire game again with a slightly different story such as Pokémon Platinum or Pokémon Ultra Sun, the new expansions continue using your same game. These new expansions are titled The Isle of Armor and The Crown Tundra. These will both be available by purchasing the expansion pass for $29.99 from the Nintendo eShop. The Isle of Armor will be available in June 2020 and The Crown Tundra is slated for release in Fall 2020.
...
Nintendo also announced that a new version of Pokémon Mystery Dungeon, Pokémon Mystery Dungeon Recuse Team DX would be released on March 6, 2020 for the Switch, but players can download a demo version today to try it out for themselves. All game data from the demo will also be transfered into the full game when it releases.
