Dark Souls III: First expansion, “Ashes of Ariandel”, detailed

Bandai Namco today detailed “Ashes of Ariandel”, the first of two planned expansions for Dark Souls III.

“Players are tasked to enter this new world and defeat the evil within and uncover the mystery of what has caused the land to become defiled,” Bandai Namco said in a press release. “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.”

“Ashes of Ariandel” will be available from 25 October on Xbox One, PS4 and Windows PC. It can be purchased as part of the game’s “Season Pass” — $37.95 AUD will net you this expansion plus the game’s second planned one as well.

Steve's the owner and Editor-in-Chief of Stevivor.com, the country’s leading independent video games outlet. Steve arrived in Australia back in 2001 on what was meant to be a three-month working holiday before deciding to emigrate and, eventually, becoming a citizen.

Stevivor is a combination of ‘Steve’ and ‘Survivor’, which made more sense back in 2001 when Jeff Probst was up in Queensland. The site started as Steve’s travel blog before transitioning over into video games.

Aside from video games, Steve has interests in hockey and Star Trek, playing the former and helping to cover video games about the latter on TrekMovie.com. By day, Steve works as the communications manager of the peak body representing Victorians as they age.
