With this pass, players can enjoy DLC as it releases between the launch of the game and fall 2018, starting with quests and support items, and eventually including a challenge Battle Mode where they can face powerful enemies. This DLC will even include an additional adventure with a new side story set in the world of Elysium.

The former game will be getting a new sidequest, which will reward you with a “Rex” costume based on Xenoblade 2’s main character. Maybe not Link’s best look, but he’s certainly worn goofier things.
