Nintendo released a 20-minute Direct earlier today that was focused on their Pokemon franchise. While there is a remake of the Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Blue/Red Rescue Team games on the way as Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Rescue Team DX, the co-op specific news we're interested in is the new DLC that's coming to Pokemon Sword and Shield this year via the $30 Expansion Pass.
The second DLC pack for MARVEL ULTIMATE ALLIANCE 3: The Black Order, titled "Rise of the Phoenix," will arrive next Monday and brings with it four new playable characters (Gambit, Cable, Phoenix, and Iceman), and a new game mode that mixes co-op with competitive play. The "Danger Room" pits two teams of four players against one another as they attempt to be the first ones to clear out a room of foes.
The first paid DLC for Borderlands 3, "Moxxi's Heist of the Handsome Jackpot," arrives this Thursday, but before you go off to find some new loot, enjoy some free (if you have a SHiFT account) loot now. Last Friday, developer Gearbox started posting SHiFT codes to their Twitter account that could be redeemed in-game for things like new ECHO skins, a weapon trinket, and a new legendary assault rifle. Those codes can all be found over on the Borderlands 3 website and are good until January 10.
A couple days ago, Trine 4: The Nightmare Prince got its first bit of DLC, and it is free on all platforms. "Toby's Dream" sees our protagonists delving into the dreamworld of the Toby the dog, who Frozenbyte fans may recognize from the developer's previous co-op title, Nine Parchments.
A couple days ago, Gearbox revealed the first DLC for Borderlands 3. Titled "Moxxi's Heist of The Handsome Jackpot," players will be recruited by Moxxi to break into an abandoned casino that was built by Handsome Jack back when he was 1) alive, and 2) President of the Hyperion corporation. Your goal is to break into the core of the casino and take over (anyone want to bet that it'll be turned into a Moxxi-themed casino when you do?)
In a quick but drastic shift, Starbreeze has declared it will continue development on 2013’s PAYDAY 2 through both free and paid content, which is in direct contrast to their previous ideology of winding down support for the title and providing any future content for free as part of their “Ultimate Edition” of the game.
Chucklefish's RTS game, Wargroove, is getting some new, free (!) DLC soon that adds a whole new campaign to play through. Best of all, it can be played cooperatively with a friend! Hooray!
If you have been waiting for Luigi’s Mansion 3 October 31st, 2019 release date to come around, you may, like the rest of us, have been expecting Nintendo to announce any and all updates they could. However, Nintendo instead decided to keep in line with the game’s themes and be as quiet as a ghost as they placed a subtle announcement that there will be paid DLC that will add “new content” for the ScareScraper and ScreamPark modes after launch. This announcement was placed on their website without any word via an official press release, Nintendo Direct, or even so much as a text message - talk about being “ghosted”.
Arizona Sunshine will be receiving its second DLC, “The Damned,” come October 3rd, 2019. Priced at $4.99, this content adds a new mission to the story mode. Arizona Sunshine is currently available on both PC and PlayStation 4, though you do need a VR headset to play. The DLC appears to be available on both platforms on the day of launch as well.
During this year's San Diego Comic Con, Nintendo revealed that Colossus and Cyclops would be added to the playable roster of characters in MARVEL ULTIMATE ALLIANCE 3: The Black Order in a future update for free. That update is here and available, and you can indeed get both Colossus and Cyclops, but there's a little bit of a catch: you have to unlock them via two different Infinity Rift challenges.
The first DLC pack for MARVEL ULTIMATE ALLIANCE 3: The Black Order now has an official release date: Sept. 30. The pack is part of the $20 bundle that also includes two future DLC packs (Fantastic Four and X-Men), which has to be purchased as a whole (i.e., you can't buy the packs individually). If you've been enjoying your time with the game, which I sort of have, then picking the bundle up will certainly ensure you get even more stuff as this pack alone includes four characters (Blade, Punisher, Moon Knight, and Morbius), two new game modes, and a new Infinity Rift.
Last month, Gearbox announced/revealed new DLC for Borderlands 2 titled "Commander Lilith and the Fight for Sanctuary." This add-on content provides a bit of a story bridge between the end of Borderlands 2 and the start of the forthcoming Borderlands 3. With not many new co-op releases these days, we decided to hop into the DLC and see how Pandora looks nearly 7 years later...
