Though it&#8217;s been available to buy from the front screen of the game since launch, it&#8217;s had very little publicity.<\/p>\n<p>Up to now the only content available has been in the form of &#8216;pixel&#8217; and steampunk weapons, which look neat but are ultimately weaker than late-game equivalents. Now, however, the first &#8216;main&#8217; part of the season pass content has gone live (at least in the UK, at the time of writing) &#8211; the\u00a0Ultra Challenge Pack. Its release date is supposed to be 17th October, but evidently the roll-out is underway and it was available to us after manually updating the game.<\/p>\n<p>It includes a couple of things &#8211; first up are &#8216;Special Challenges&#8217;, in the form of difficult maps that you can now tackle from the &#8216;Secret Area&#8217; in each of the four worlds. Second up is the &#8216;Cataclysm Kerfuffle&#8217; co-op campaign, which consists of five maps (and the unlockable &#8216;hard mode&#8217; versions).<\/p>\n<p>We&#8217;ll be checking out the content to see whether it offers much value as the initial notable addition from the season pass. Perhaps of more interest will be the &#8216;Story Mode&#8217; pack that&#8217;s due on 16th January. These dates are from eShop receipts, as Ubisoft is yet to do much to promote the content.<\/p>\n<p>Are you planning to try out this DLC?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle is a bit of a gem, but beyond its core campaign it&#8217;s also had a low profile &#8216;Season Pass&#8217;.
