The development team at Rare and publisher Microsoft are announcing that the recently launched Kinect Sports Rivals has just received its first big content expansion on the Xbox One, allowing gamers to get access to new challenges via Sponsor Packs and to enhance the look of their own character.

The two companies have raided the history of gaming in order to create missions on classic franchises that are part of the Banjo-Kazooie Challenge Pack, Battletoads Challenge Pack, Perfect Dark Challenge Pack, Viva Pinata Challenge Pack and Blast Corps Challenge Pack.

A new set of vanity packs are also available for purchase from the official Kinect Sports Rivals store and can then be used to change the style of the gamer’s champion, with the new additions including: Sunglasses Pack, Funglasses Pack and the Super Salon Pack.

Rare has also added 24 new unique story missions to each of the three teams in the title and the game hub has also been updated with interesting features, according to the announcement.

Kinect Sports Rivals was a little disappointing at launch because of its limited content, even if it did provide a solid showcase for the motion tracking technology that is being included with the Xbox One home console.
