Dark Souls 3: The Ringed City DLC expansion unlocks on Steam at 6 p.m. ET today, and will be available on PS4 and Xbox One at midnight tomorrow, March 28.

The Ringed City marks the final expansion for Dark Souls 3. Like its predecessor, Ashes of Ariandel, it promises new environments to explore, items to covet, bosses to kill, and souls to claim. FromSoftware and Bandai Namco are promoting the DLC as "late-game content," whereas Ashes of Ariandel opened up approximately one-third of the way through Dark Souls 3.

You can buy each expansion separately, or as part of Dark Souls 3's season pass. No preload is available, although the expansion weighs in at only a few gigs according to my install size. If you want to find out how and where to access the Ringed City, check out our guide for gaining admittance.
