<p>Although <a href="http://ift.tt/1fdyFq9">Dark Souls III</a>&#8216;s Ashes of Ariandel DLC <a href="http://ift.tt/2dWthaz">accidentally went up (and was taken down) from Xbox One</a> last week, it&#8217;s now back on its regular release schedule. <a href="http://ift.tt/1e8dJIN">PC</a> players can start playing now through Steam, while <a href="http://ift.tt/1lXIW8W">PS4</a> and <a href="http://ift.tt/1gvajmS">Xbox One</a> owners will gain access to it tonight, October 24, at 9 PM PT. </p>
<p>The first expansion costs $15, but you can buy it in a bundle with a second unannounced expansion for $25. It tasks players with venturing into <a href="http://ift.tt/2bFRbJL">the &quot;frozen land of Ariandel&quot;</a> to &quot;defeat the evil within&quot; and discover what destroyed the region. The DLC also includes &quot;new weapons, armor sets, and magic for players to discover and experiment with.&quot; You can check out some screenshots and art of Ashes of Ariandel in the gallery above.</p>

<p>We don&#8217;t know much about the second expansion, except for the fact that it&#8217;s expected in early 2017. We&#8217;ll keep you up to date as more information is revealed.</p>
<p>As for future projects, <a href="http://ift.tt/Vpm5Tj">Dark Souls</a> creator Hidetaka Miyazaki has confirmed that From Software is working on <a href="http://ift.tt/2cu26FK">a new entry in the Armored Core series</a>, in addition to a game that&#8217;s described as &quot;a little weird.&quot; He&#8217;s also stated that the studio has <a href="http://ift.tt/1SP6uzZ">no intention of following Dark Souls III up with another sequel</a>.</p>
<p>Dark Souls III received <a href="http://ift.tt/1RTKy3b">a score of 8/10 in GameSpot&#8217;s review</a>. Critic Mike Mahardy praised its expert level design, thrilling combat, and beautiful setting, though he was disappointed by the inconsistent camera and redundant late-game bosses.</p>
