Mario Strikers Battle League DLC Release Date

Mario Strikers: Battle League was released on June 10th, 2022, and was criticized at launch for not having enough playable characters. Nintendo aims to remedy this with their DLC content that will be launching starting this week, though, as has been announced by Nintendo.

The first piece of post-release content for Mario Strikers: Battle League will be released this Friday, 22nd July, and isn’t the only update coming this year.

The game will also be receiving two further updates before the end of 2022, all adding similar content to the game as this first one. But what is that content?

Obviously, as of right now, we don’t know exactly what the rest of the DLC is going to include or when it’ll release, though hopefully, it’ll be sooner rather than later. Players can look forward to likely getting new characters in those DLC packs too, so get hyped to go back to the stadium and defeat your opponents.
