Premieres in 2 hours.

 

[kikkis]

Already preordered. Less than 30 bucks to stay indoors during the heat of summer.

 

[Chiggs]

Oh man....we are 1 month away.

Even better, you don't have to play as a monkey!

 

[FunkMiller]

I really am going to have to either find a PC saved game from somewhere that's still on NG, or find a good guide that'll get me levelled up enough to enter the DLC.

My NG+5 character is not going to cut the mustard here... especially because I sold my Series X

 

[Little Chicken]

 

[JimmyRustler]

The story trailer should just point to all the YT chanels that will inveitably have to explain everything that is going on in the game.

 

[lh032]

f i need to rush and complete the main game asap

 

[Lucifers Beard]

Currently on a second playthrough but this time on PS5. Finished the Carian Manor and I guess Caelid is next. I'm not dedicating a ton of time to this playthrough but already put in 26 hours lol. Hoping I get the Mohg before DLC releases. I'm going to stop the playthrough at that point and hop straight into the DLC.

 

[Thick Thighs Save Lives]

Can't believe we're just one month away from experiencing greatness once more.

 

[Metnut]

Me getting frustrated at the Elden Beast and not wanting to change my melee build might’ve paid off. Seems like I can just go into the DLC now.

Ended up beating Mogh recently. Completely missed him in my first play through.

Can’t wait to play the expansion.

 

[diffusionx]

Zanzibart bros we are so back

 

[Cyborg]

I expect that we will see gameplay from Vaati right after that.

 

[Schmendrick]

One of only ~3 games in the last decade I 100%. I´m absolutely ready to dive in again
And I fully expect to get my ass completely handed to me while I try to remember how everything actually works.

 

[Mr Hyde]

Did a new playthrough because I didn't want to get my ass handed to me in NG+++. Power leveled like crazy so I would get an early headstart but now it seems From Software has restricted your level in the DLC and replaced it with some other system. Fucking shite.

 

[winjer]

I'll probably use the save game from my first playthrough, because that's where I have most items and stuff.
But on that run, I went for the Lord of Frenzied Flame ending.
I'm not sue this is the way to go into the DLC.

 

[JCK75]

I played severl hundred hours, put it down after months and months of playing it..
just started playing it again.. on my third new playthrough now.. need to stop and wait for this to drop before I burn myself out.

 

[TintoConCasera]

To play this with my existing character, or to do it all over again.

 

[Gaelyon]

I'll probably start from scratch as my main is in NG+ and I didn't play for a year at least. I'm rusty but ready.

 

[tusharngf]

my strength faith build is already saved on steam. I may use that instead of dagger dex build.

 

[SantaC]

eh never played the souls games for the story. Give me gameplay.

 

[AJUMP23]

What a tease.......

 

[MrRenegade]

No matter the story people will turn this inside out and interpret it as some wild conspiracy.

 

[FoxMcChief]

I had originally played and 100% completed it on the Series X. I double dipped and bought the DLC bundle on the PS5 and have been working my way through that one.

 

[Zimmy68]

I haven't played in so long, dreading having to go back and re-learn everything. That is the problem with DLC that is so far away from release.
I must have 5 highly level characters with different traits but they will be useless I suspect.

 

[Draugoth]

The Previews will be dropping after this trailer,

Then we won't have any trailer before June 21

 

[T4keD0wN]

I am calm and patient.

 

[gaming_again]

Think I'm gonna do a cold brick hammer build as preparation.

 

[DryvBy]

Premieres in 2 hours.

Love the avatar.

 

[ResurrectedContrarian]

I don't think I understand the story of the original game yet, and that's after a ton of hours.

From Software game. Story is irrelevant. Just enjoy the gameplay!

According to the Xbox and PlayStation apps, I’ve put 209 hours and 72 hours into this game. Story is fucking retarded. It’s the gameplay and map exploration that keeps me engaged.

 

[tommib]

Waiting in line with 60k other nerds.

 

[ResurrectedContrarian]

Indeed, I think of the story as part of the general atmosphere... I don't actually need to grasp all the details of it, but just to have a sense of this otherworldly logic of this universe, and enjoy its strangeness and mystery as I explore. I love the weird dialogue and hints of lore etc but I don't care at all about reconciling them or grasping the whole thing as a coherent story.

 

[tommib]

70K

 

[ultrazilla]

100k waiting

 

[ebevan91]

Trippiest countdown of all time.

 

[Skifi28]

I'm not sure I'll be done with the base game before this is out. What a fomo nightmare this is.

 

[tommib]

Well. That was underwhelming.

 

[GrayChild]

Didn't expect anything less. So friggin' pumped.

 

[FoxMcChief]

So the story still seems dumb.

I’ll be there minute one!

 

[Lux R7]

holy fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu
that was amazing

 

[ungalo]

generic From Software stuff part 36

 

[Gideon]

Beautiful

 

[FoxMcChief]

Anyone getting multiplayer raid vibes from that ending? I wonder if those new markers are raid sessions.

 

[rhodesianshepard]

god damn that was a bullshit trailer.

Not being able to comprehend the story and calling it “fucking retarded” is pretty low IQ.

 

[Alebrije]

Meh...Classic non sense From story trailer, but well gameplay Will be great.

 

[Arsic]

Have they explained how accessing the dlc works?

I had a new playthrough with a bitch made mage build in the works with two main bosses done.

I also have my main character at level 176 or some shit but its new game plus that has completed mohg.

Unsure how easy it will be to get into it on the original character.

You have to beat Mohg and Radahn. I assume it’ll have something to do with Miquella’s cocoon in Mohgwyn Palace.
