Well FROM is listed as a Switch developer so at some point there's probably going to be a reveal of something they're working on. If you don't think DS3 is most likely then what is?

I could never wait to play these games. Got to be there from day one when the community is strongest
A new game would be my guess. I'm sure a team has been toiling away at something since Dark Souls 3 went gold almost a year ago now.
It's actually the painter and "uncle". Makes sense.
Oh right, never saw that art before. Thanks!

Is this like Scholar of the First Sin i.e. new trophies?
Garrett Hawke

yes, interestingly enough games can't run on hardware that can't power them
Why does NA keep getting the shaft with these? Maybe they're using the Scholar of the First Sin as a basis and if that did poorly on PS4/XB1 then fair enough, but on PS3 and 360 those platforms cratered for sales anyway.
And holy hell did they fuck up with the cover in EU. Not just "worse", fucked up because there's no better term for recycling commonly used promo art but throwing it through a piss filter while Japan gets a neat new piece of art.
And holy fuck is the EU one awful.

Yea 3 pretty much retcons all the dumb shit that 2 did and is much more like 1 (with a dash of Bloodborne)
Loved 1, hated 2, loved BB and 3.

Have been waiting for this.
I think a Switch version could happen still (Bandai-Namco are great buddies with Nintendo and it's confirmed From Software at the very least has access to Switch Development Kits). But this is another move where Nintendo should have been more aggressive getting third party support.
This shouldn't be a 'rumor' it should have been announced today that this edition will releases ALONGSIDE the other versions. It wont and by the time this does come to Switch (if it even happens) it will be a late port and people will likely ignore it.
Whatever, Nintendo and third party support is like oil and water. Has been since the N64 days.....

Yeah, could be. I think they'll definitely reveal a trilogy at some point though and at that point I think it'll certainly be on Switch if FROM enjoys success on the platform (I think they will).
looks like I really need to beat this dlc. Who was the uncle? The guy who gives us access to Ariandel?
Looks like we will get another 1 real boss and probably a miniboss as the angel thing.
And the boss will probably have again 2-3 phases like nearly every other boss in souls 3.
Figthing against maiden, buffed maiden and then against kuwagamon.
Yep.

I think I'd rather have this than new content
I thought port begging was forbidden here?
Man I really love the souls lore and all the other stuff, but they really broke it down with 3 and the "time goees weeird so anything is allowed" I wish, their new medieval series will have a better lore.
The woman is heavily inspired form Angels egg.

I paid good money for this Dynex!
That Japanese PC release looks fucking awesome. I'd totally buy it if it wasn't inevitably just a Steam code in there.
I just wish Dark Souls 3 wasn't so focused on the first game. Dark Souls 2 exists and people enjoyed it. Outside of Yhorm and a few hostile NPCs, the world of Dark Souls 3 feels completely disconnected with that of 2.
That´s right. I think the inital plan, when they knew they are going to make 2 new games, having 2 different worlds and just connecting them through legends.
Souls2 had references to one with gwyn and the spider, also that you are basically in lodran, just many many centuries later (which was kinda confirmed in ds3 with profaned capital).
I guess, after the rage about souls 2 they just thought let´s make it so that everyone will think "oh wow look that is like dark souls 3". Also bloodborne didn´t do good for the series. Not that it isn´t a good game, but dark souls 3 got too many artstyle aspects, which looked to much like bloodborne.
And there are still questions like: What happened to ocelotte? Who exactly is the dragon tail girl? What happened to ariamis, I mean it couldn´t be a coincidence that you find the armor of the paint guards right after the dragon tail girl.
Well seeing this:
which looks like mix of hummanity and the human effigiy symbol I think this dlc will be hopefully better than AoA

Man I've been holding out for a prepare to die/game of the year edition. Please come to NA.
As always with post-Dark Souls, you'll hear a variety of opinions. I was not happy with it but the majority of fans think its very good.
It's fast paced and favours melee, so it's pretty far removed from 2?

No dude shaking his fist but still piss yellow. Tough one. I might actually import and feel like I'm in the 90s again.
If the dlc isn't on the disc though, oh god, what to do.

You'll be fine. You won't get the same effect but honestly it's not nearly as big of a deal as people make it out to be.
At all

Has this been comfirmed?
The game will probably be more enjoyable for you then.
I loved the references, and there are Demon's references too.

I really want that Japanese edition. I'm assuming they still don't let you play in English? If that's the case I'll have to grab the European version. Better than nothing at least which is what we got.
