What’s New?
On the PVE side of things, From Software has confirmed that there will be two new boss fights in this DLC. That seems a little low, but Director, Hidetaka Miyazaki has promised that these boss fights will be very focused on phase changes, just as the bosses of the base game were, and that there will be tons of other new content to discover outside of these fights. For instance, players will be able to get access to four new spells (including frost magic, which is a first), new armor sets (for all the Fashion Souls fashionistas out there), and 15 new weapons.
In addition to that, Ashes of Ariandel will also include a new PVP arena for players who love dueling. There aren’t any specifics on how this new PVP stuff will be implemented, but it’s likely that we’ll be getting cordoned off areas specific for duelists, just like how it was handled in Dark Souls II.
