Dark Souls III [official site] will be the end of Dark Souls, as far as director Hidetaka Miyazaki is concerned, but we’ve still got two DLC story add-ons to come before it wraps up. The first of these will be Ashes of Ariandel, which is due on October 25th, and… do you want to know more about it or enjoy a surprise? If you fancy going in fresh, probably don’t watch the new trailer released today. Its four minutes of gameplay show not much, really, until they show exciting spoiler-ish things that honestly I’d rather have seen fresh while playing. Be warned. For the bold, onwards:
Dark Souls 3 s first of two proposed slices of DLC, Ashes of Ariandel, is due October 25. Its first proper portion of in-game footage has emerged following last weekend s Tokyo Game Show.
As you might expect, the following video enters spoiler territory. With that in mind, while you decide if it s worth watching on or not, here s publisher Bandai Namco on what we already know about Ashes of Ariandel:
Return to the world of Dark Souls III and uncover a terrible secret that lies within the frozen land of Ariandel. Players are tasked to enter the land of Ariandel and defeat the evil within to uncover the mystery of what has caused the land to become defiled.
In addition to adding a new environment to Dark Souls III, the Dark Souls III: Ashes of Ariandel expansion will also include new weapons, armour sets, and magic for players to discover and experiment with, as well as new features for the game s wildly popular competitive multiplayer mode.
I am ill today. It’s my guts, you see. My Goddamned guts>. Despite my imminent death by a thousand craps, I am duty-bound to bring you the regular round-up of what sold best on Steam last week. Think of me, won’t you, as you wonder how many humans who don’t yet own Counter-Strike: Global Offensive there can possibly be in the world, and lament the total absence this week of anything we might traditionally deem to be ‘indie.’ … [visit site to read more]

We’ve known that two big story add-ons were coming to Dark Souls III [official site] and now the first is officially announced. Ashes of Ariandel will send the Ashen One to a new land to do the usual stuff: fight new monsters, duff up new bosses, jab at new lore, put on new hats, and learn a few new magic tricks. It’ll launch on October 25th and, until then, here’s a trailer introducing Ariandel:
After teasing a major announcement via Twitter last week, Bandai Namco and From Software have officially unveiled Ashes of Ariandel as the first expansion heading to Dark Souls 3 on October 25.
Not that there wasn t fun to be had in re-texturing the ultra-punishing medieval RPG with crabs and Nicholas Cage faces and the likes, but Ashes of Ariandel the first of two incoming add-ons will welcome new weapons, armour, magic, a PvP area named Immortal Competition, and some exciting lore to expand the overarching Dark Souls III storyline, according to Bandai Namco.
Let s have a look at some of that in action:
Return to the world of Dark Souls III and uncover a terrible secret that lies within the frozen land of Ariandel, adds the publisher in a statement. Players are tasked to enter the land of Ariandel and defeat the evil within to uncover the mystery of what has caused the land to become defiled.
In addition to adding a new environment to Dark Souls III, the Dark Souls III: Ashes of Ariandel expansion will also include new weapons, armour sets, and magic for players to discover and experiment with, as well as new features for the game s wildly popular competitive multiplayer mode.
One thing we d love to see feature in the new expansion is Bloodborne s transforming weapons, but I ll guess we ll have to wait until the October 25 when it'll cost $14.99 to see if they make it in or not.
Ashes of Ariandel will be out on October 25th and will feature a brand new region to explore, new bosses to rage about, new armor, weapons and magic to help you try to survive and new multiplayer features.
