Original Story: Bandai Namco has revealed details for Dark Souls III’s first DLC to various Japanese gaming mags this week, including a release date of October 26. “Prepare yourself once more and embrace the darkness”.

Ashes of Ariandel comes to PS4 October 25.

Official details are yet to be unveiled by Bandai Namco over in the west, though chances are official information will come either later today, or some time tomorrow. It comes with new magic and weapons along with a new map which is exclusively PvP. This falls in line with what the $24.99 Season Pass description says: “Expand your DARK SOULS III experience with the Season Pass and gain access to 2 epic DLC packs at a discounted price”. No word on United States dollars pricing yet. It will also include a special, snow-covered PlayStation 4 theme, according to Famitsu.

Strangely, no mention is made of any single-player content which, if accurate, will undoubtedly leave gamers enamoured by the player-vs-enemy combat and lore of Dark Souls III more than a little disappointed. We found it to be quite excellent despite being a tad shorter than its predecessors.
