Overview
- The DLC is live across PC, PlayStation, and Xbox on a staggered global schedule, with PC unlocking earlier than consoles in many regions.
- A required Patch 1.03 must be installed, and Steam offered no preload, so PC downloads began only at each region’s release time.
- To reach the new content, players defeat Tricephalos, speak to the Iron Menial at Roundtable Hold, unlock Scholar and Undertaker, then enter the chapel behind the Small Jar Merchant to access The Great Hollows and the Balancers expedition.
- The expansion adds two playable Nightfarers (Scholar and Undertaker), new bosses and expeditions, and a Shifting Earth area called the Great Hollow, with multiple returning foes from earlier FromSoftware games reported.
- Pricing is $15 standalone or included with Deluxe and Collector’s editions, and the director says the difficulty is a little higher than the base game but not excessive.
