Luigi’s Mansion 3 Multiplayer DLC Releases Nearly Two Months Early

Luigi’s Mansion 3 just got its first DLC release and it’s available almost two months early, having been originally slated for an Apr. 30 launch.

This particular DLC is multiplayer-focused and is the perfect excuse to revisit the haunted hotel, or to jump in if you hadn’t already.

Part 1 of the Multiplayer Pack DLC consists of three new minigames available in ScreamPark Mode, three new floor themes and Luigi outfits, along with six new ghost types for co-op players to pal around with in ScareScraper Mode.

If that wasn’t enough, this DLC will give Luigi access to a unique in-game flashlight which will project an image of the ever-adorable Polterpup onto walls. Amazing, right?

Nintendo also released a patch (Ver. 1.3.0) and a short trailer alongside the multiplayer DLC, and you can check out both the patch notes and the launch trailer for yourself below.
