And I'm going to say that it looks and sounds awesome. Not that I would know, having never played a single minute of Dark Souls. With new locations to explore, bosses to fight, and items to find, Ashes of Ariandel is the first of two planned expansions to the critically acclaimed Dark Souls III. And it's due October 25. Click through for the announcement trailer.

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.
