'Dark Souls 3' DLC release date, news: expansion packed with all things new

(Dark Souls Game / Twitter)'Dark Souls 3' is set to receive a DLC expansion this fall.

In March, "Dark Souls 3" made history when it landed on the PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC, and coming soon is an expansion that is said to feature new content, a new location, a new plot and a whole new breed of foes.

In an email interview with Kotaku, From Software president and game director Hidetaka Miyazaki revealed that gamers will see a lot of innovative content when the update for "Dark Souls 3" launches.

"Content-wise, it builds off of the previous titles and will be featuring a new area, enemies, gear, and story. The game story revolves around a new location which I believe will offer a different feel from Dark Souls 3. Please stay tuned!" he said in the interview.

The game undeniably took the hearts of gamers when in launched. Multiple outlets reported then that it has slammed previous franchise records with a shipment record of three million copies.

There are two DLC updates on the way, but the first one will come out sometime this fall while the second is expected to release in 2017. As Miyazaki mentioned, almost everything will be new so fans can expect to explore new settings and probably even new characters.

Miyazaki further shared that he is "quite excited" as he goes along with the expansion. Though he has also been working on several other projects, the developer said he is ecstatic about the expansion for the franchise's millions of fans.

Unlike some titles with one ending, "Dark Souls 3" has several, but Miyazaki said he would personally pick a specific one. However, he says he can't really tell which conclusion is more prominent than the rest since for him, all of the finales created are a special part of the gameplay.

Meanwhile, in another interview with GameSpot, Miyazaki said the development team will continue to deliver "special games of value, so that when people look back to the Dark Souls series, they will distinguish it as the beginning of a new stage for From Software."

"Dark Souls 3" is available for PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC.
