First DLC for DaS3 has been officially announced and will be released on October 25.
Overview: Return to the world of Dark Souls III and uncover a terrible secret that lies within the frozen land of Ariandel. Players will find themselves steeped in a brand new environment filled with terrifying new enemies, challenges, and exciting lore to expand the overarching Dark Souls III storyline. 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, armor sets, and magic for players to discover and experiment with, as well as new features for the game’s wildly popular competitive multiplayer mode.
These games tend to have a superb track record when it comes to DLC but where's my fuckin' trip to Londor? Is this going to redeem all the blunders of the vanilla release? Side note, I bet this area is accessed by entering the painting in the gallery guarded by Silver Knights.

Just looks like a mashup of the Painted World and Eleum Loyce.
Evan Jackson
Considering the boss reel from the vanilla game I can sorta see where this DLC is going.
More importantly though they actually made a dedicated PVP arena for this DLC and it seems to be a reskin of the Soul of Cinder area where it's not red and has white flowers instead. Hopefully you won't have to pay for the arena itself if it really is a reskin.

Also DaS General.
Recently started a Pyro build in DaS3 and I've realized my "beef" with the game is that, personally, most of the game feels like a chore after the Settlement. I love the first two areas both in terms of visuals and level design but IMHO it goes downhill after that, with a peak in Irithyll (though not perfect because fuck every single enemy in that area) and later on in Lothric Castle/Archives with all the shortcuts and interconnecting areas.
Hudson Baker
Pretty much how I feel too. I just don't get any enjoyment from playing the game after the first hour or so.
David Wright
Fucking bought. DS3 is the best souls.
Anthony Bailey
What's with all the snowy castles in souls games? Can we get a jungle or a desert or something for once?
Camden Torres
Hopefully not. Every single fucking game has deserts, jungles and all those themepark locations. At least this one tries to be consistent with its setting. Also snowy caslte is the best piece ever, and the most under used one. Last one before DS2 DLC was when? In shitty Dawn of Sorrow?
