Back when PlatinumGames held its Kickstarter for The Wonderful 101: Remastered, one of the stretch goals that backers were able to reach was a set of DLC featuring Luka as its main character, aptly titled Luka’s Mission. Even though it hasn’t been detailed up until this point, PlatinumGames has finally decided to share a small minute-long sneak peek at this DLC.

Sadly, there aren’t too many details to latch onto from this video, but it does provide a first look at a development build for the DLC.
