Previews for the Elden Ring DLC have just been released! Lots of journalists and popular Souls players have been to an event where they played the DLC for a few hours, giving us way more info on what to expect and things such as new weapon types and upgrade materials. This isn’t a comprehensive list, just the few that I found quickly.
I had a look at VaatiVidya’s video on this (many spoilers, you are warned) and while this all looks incredibly awesome, all I can think about seeing some of the new weapons are how these things are going to be an absolute menace in PvP. Specifically the >!beast claws.!<
Good thing I’m already trash at PvP and am used to losing, because it looks like we’re getting like 8 new variations on what made Rivers of Blood a meta pick. I’m not really that upset about it, PvP isn’t my main draw to elden ring and I am going to have a ton of fun with these new weapons in single player, so I consider it a net positive, but even so, yeesh.
I was thinking more about how people can spam throwing weapons with zero mana cost. Pvp is definitely going to be interesting… But we’ll wait and see, maybe they’re not as powerful as they look.

I don’t wanna look too much, but boy does seeing actual gameplay footage make it feel so real! I’m pretty hyped
I cannot wait. I’ve got hundreds of hours into elden ring already :/
@simple Can we have a spoiler free TL;DR?
8 new weapon types
100+ new weapons
There’s new types of progression where you can find items that make you stronger but only in the DLC.
The first area of the DLC is as big as Limgrave
People got to see the first 2 legacy dungeons, say they’re really good and there’s lots of secrets.
The consensus is that it’s more Elden Ring. Overall people are stoked.

Simply wrong
You might want to check out a different community then 😊
Because they can’t express their opinion in a general games community?
Welp that one is on me for browsing before coffee. I thought we were in the Elden Ring community
That place has gone hollow. Maybe the call of Miquella will implore those previously subscribed users to rise again.
Because this is the Elden Ring DLC Hype Train, and we’ve given he courtesy enough. Homie should leave his foolish ambitions to rest.
Thanks for your input
Dude has such confidence in an errant opinion lmao
I guess if you never got gud it would feel that way, what with constantly being destroyed by the same roadblock over and over again.
I don’t think it’s boring but I agree it’s not good.
Blasphemy!
What a maiden-less thing to say.
Most common challenges and pitfalls first-time players get into when starting the game? I’ve tried it once but didn’t hook me.
Just having a rough idea of where to go and what to do will help you out a lot. You can check beginners guides on YouTube if you’re struggling.
