This is potentially the first major addition released for From Software’s Dark Souls III. The game released in March 2016 and was generally well-received, despite a few bugs in the PC port.
If confirmed, this expansion will be the first of two. This will be the first DLC for the $25 Season Pass option that popped up in digital storefronts back in February. The expansions will likely be available individually as well.
One would expect that any DLC will include new maps, bosses, and weapons. Exactly what it contains – if it is DLC – will be answered on August 24th.
