there might be some dlc coming. i hope although its not 100% set in stone yet..



THE BUZZ: From Software’s 2011 release Dark Souls was a hit with countless fans around the world—fans who soon will be able to extend the adventure via upcoming DLC.

A source close to the project has told EGM that some form of expanded content is in the process of being finished up for Dark Souls, and will be released as DLC at some point in the first quarter of this year.

While we were unable to get further details on what this new DLC will feature, late last year it was discovered that From Software had filed for an interesting trademark in Japan. That trademark was for “Yami no Mori”—which could be translated as “Forest of Darkness” or “Dark Forest”.

While we have no reason at this point to believe that the two are connected, we also have no reason to instantly discount the idea.

EGM’s TAKE: The idea of DLC for Dark Souls is an interesting one for me. I really appreciated that the game felt like a complete project—versus other titles where you don’t feel like you’re getting the whole experience without having to spend extra money on a long list of digital add-ons. Dark Souls was what it was—and didn’t need to be anything more.

And yet—I would totally buy Dark Souls DLC. I absolutely adored the game, and the chance to experience new pieces of it is something that gets me as giddy as a schoolgirl.

The question is, how did this DLC come about? If it was planned during the game’s original release, then sure, I’d feel a little raw about being told there wouldn’t be Dark Souls DLC and then having it appear. If, however, this DLC now exists as a result of player demand and the game’s growing popularity, then I am perfectly fine with that. I have no problem with the concept of DLC—when it comes as additional content to satisfy consumer demand, and not when it’s shaved-off pieces sold separately to make extra money.

Iono about that dlc. I welcome it but I don't see how it'll fit in.
Maybe fill in some story holes but I think the game itself is pretty solid.

Need moar Souls content. Hopefully From has already started on the sequel, or atleast the next installment of the same type.

Didn't they say before/on release that no DLC would ever be created for Dark Souls?

i was going to post this

still skeptic about this since from said they didnt plan on releasing any dlc

i dont know how relevant this is to what's currently being talked about in here or what, but i feel i need an outley for my rage. I have been on ornstein and smaugh for 3 days now and locked in an easy 40 attempts. I've tried full lightning resist gear, really light weight gear for mobilty, heavy armor with iron flesh, but its literally the most challenging fucking thing to me ever. I have literally killed every other boss in the FIRST attempt, even ceaseless discharge at level 30 with no glitches or anything, but these 2 mother fuckers have put a damper on my god damn week. I don't even need tips because i've been researching my nuts off. I fucking hate this boss. I killed the solaire guy in the beginning so i guess karma is a bitch.

get flip ring, man up

depending on your level, i can offer to help you.
but that's about it since yea you probably know them way too well now.

i have a level 1 and a level 61

I feel for ya, bruh

Ornstien is weak to fire and not to hard to dodge, Smough is alot easier and if you get real close some of his attacks will completely miss you. For the others use your flip ring or have low weight so you can roll and GTFO of there



Isn't the forest covenant the only one that doesn't have a warp to it? Just making an observation
