As if the game itself was not already great, fans of the games were excited as ever when they got their hands on the first ever downloadable content (DLC) that Ubisoft unveiled for "Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle."

The DLC was released a few days ago, and it was made available for those who have season passes. There are two big parts that were included in the first DLC of the game. The two DLC parts are called the Ultra Challenge Pack and the Cataclysm Kerfuffle, both of which are already available for Season Pass holders in the U.K.

The Ultra Challenge Pack also has a few parts of its own, one part of which is called Special Challenges and it takes the form of difficult maps in each of the four worlds that are in "Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle." These challenges can be accessed in the Secret Area.

The second part of the Ultra Challenge Pack is called Cataclysm Kerfuffle, which is a cooperative campaign mode. This world is made up of five maps and has an alternate and accessible "Hard Move" version.

There will be a second DLC that Ubisoft has in the works, which is expected to come out next year on Jan. 16. The second DLC will also contain a Story Mode. However, it is not clear on whether or not it will include a backstory for Mario or the Raving Rabbids.

Prior to the first DLC, Ubisoft has only released two small weapons packs for "Mario + Rabbids" called the Pixel Pack and the Steampunk Pack. These packs are made up of eight themed weapons for Mario to use in the game. Knowing that the first DLC has been released this week, fans of the game need only wait for the next one, which is only a few months away.
