Report: Dark Souls III DLC Launching In Japan In October
From Software’s latest adventure into methodical dark fantasy combat is about to get bigger. Reports out of Japan suggest that Dark Souls III is about to get DLC.
The information first showed up in weekly Japanese gaming magazines according to Siliconera. The site reports that two DLC packs are incoming, priced at ¥1,200 ($12), with a “season pass” bundle of both for ¥2,000 ($20).
The images reportedly show new weapons, a snow-covered environment, and a new PVP map called “Immortal Competition.” The first DLC add-on will be out on October 26 in Japan for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC.

Our Take
While we're labeling this report, it's because we haven't laid eyes on the information ourselves (though Siliconera is absolutely trustworthy). I suspect that we'll see a Western release in short order, if not simultaneously.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
