And more content coming next year, including a new sport

Following up after yesterday's trailer of the second piece of DLC for Kinect Sports: Season Two, we have more details and screens to show you today.

The "Maple Lake Golf Pack" will include nine new holes, and features drop-offs, ridges, islands, and more. Various landmarks are nestled into the scenery throughout; forts, marinas, causeways and coves. Below we have screens of each of the nine new holes included.

The varied design of the holes will offer opportunities for hidden paths and routes at which to go at the green. This will set up special chances for a Hole-in-One or possibly an Albatross on the longer ones.

Alongside the DLC, a new title update will be released, adding extra functionality to the multiplayer and Challenge Play modes. Xbox LIVE matches are about to get more interesting...or creepy, with the addition of video chat. Facebook integration will be added to show off your results to everyone, and Challenge Play will have an e-mail notification option to let your rivals know you've got a new one for them.

Looking past this DLC, developers Rare and Big Park look to add more experiences to Kinect Sports: Season Two for 2012. Coming up in mid-January will be the “Midnight Mountain Ski Pack”, which will have you hitting the slopes under the starry night. The devs promised more content too, including some free elements, all the way through spring. There will even be an entirely new sport as well, although no details or hints were given on which one that might be.

The "Maple Lake Golf Pack" comes complete with an extra 125 GS, and will run you back 400 MSP. Look for it on the marketplace on December 20th.

Think the new sport will either be basketball or hockey. Might pick up this game if the new sport attracts me.

I'm interested, but I'm hoping they get more sponsors that want to support some free DLC!

I love Kinect sports season 1 and season 2. I love season 2 more because the menus are so fluid compared to one. The sports are rather lacking in two to "make you tired, sweat..." but they are still fun with the family and friends!

Cheevos don't look easy, hope they're all doable though!
