How will we know when Part 1 & Part 2 of the DLC become accessible?

Question

Part 1 is scheduled for release on Wednesday. How will I know that I can play it? Will there be a notification when we open the game on that day? Will it ask for a system update? Will the way to access Kitakami come through as a gift? Just want to know how it'll work.

With the Sword and Shield DLC, the game updated and upon launching it told you what to do in order to access the DLC area. Even games without the DLC must update so that they can receive via trade and fight with other players who are using DLC specific Pokémon, Abilities, Moves, etc.
I’d assume something similar would take place :P

This doesn’t answer the question.

Answer 1

So far, for part 1 someone will call you and then you wait for the cutscenes to roll and finally Kitakami is accessible.

Sorry if I answered late.
