Dark Souls 3 is FromSoftware's final entry in the Dark Souls series, but it's still got two tricks up its sleeve. The developer announced two DLC expansions, and the first, Ashes of Ariandel, unlocks soon for PS4 and Xbox One.

PC players can begin playing Ashes of Ariandel now on Steam. The Xbox One and PS4 editions unlock at 9:00 pm Pacific tonight; that's midnight in Eastern time.

Dark Souls 3: Ashes of Ariandel costs $14.99. That's the going rate of the second (as-yet unannounced) expansion, too. You can save 10 bucks by purchasing the season pass, which includes both DLCs.
