Luigi’s Mansion 3, which has just received a nomination for Best Game at this year’s BAFTA Games awards, has just been updated to version 1.3.0, bringing the first batch of multiplayer DLC with it.
Part 1 of the multiplayer pack features three new outfits for Luigi - a knight’s armour, a mummified look and the fantastic disco-themed Groovigi - as well as related scare floors and battle ghosts for each costume. There’s also a trio of new minigames available, check out the trailer to see everything in action:
The DLC itself costs $9.99 / £8.99, and includes a second pack arriving in the summer with more additional content for the Scream Park and Scarescraper modes.
Elsewhere in the Version 1.3.0 update there’s more new features for the game’s multiplayer mode, with a single player practice mode now available, five new rare ghost types and a 20 floor mode in Scarescraper. There’s been tweaks and fixes to the game’s story mode too, and you can now listen to the game’s awesome soundtrack from the new Albums menu.
