After its launching on April 12, Dark Souls 3 received positive reviews from several tech websites. Interestingly, the game's first DLC is on its way this fall. The expansion pack is promised to contain new features that will make the fans love the game more. Now, here's the roundup of update about Dark Souls 3 guide and first DLC release date.

Publisher Bandai Namco has confirmed the first DLC's release window. In an IGN report, the publisher says the first DLC will be available in autumn, while the second DLC will be released at a later date. However, Namco is still holding the specific details on what each packs will contain, but the game publisher said that new bosses, enemies, weapons, armors and maps will be included in the downloadable expansions. The two packs will be available in bundle through $25 Season Pass.

Furthermore, IGN shared guides and tips about the game. One of these is using Ember as a healing device. Ember can be seen through many means. By using this, it will raise the maximum health as it also enables the character to summon or be summoned. IGN suggests that it must be used in the middle of the fights.

Meanwhile, here's the breakdown of Dark Souls 3 pros and cons courtesy of Fox News.

Dark Souls 3 garnered praises for its customization, bosses, soundtrack, and atmosphere. Gaming experts said creating a character in Dark Souls 3 gives players an opportunity to test their skills. While the fight with a boss gives the game's uniqueness when it comes to in-game design. It is also said that when a character is in a fight, a sound of an orchestra will flood into the environment. The sound seems to be there as a support to the players. In addition, the pre-ordered version of Dark Souls 3 includes the soundtrack CD with the game.  Lastly, the landscapes from High Wall of Lothric down to the Catacombs of Carthus are impressive. It gives the game the sense of beauty and danger.

However, the only downside of the game is its frame rate. It was found that the frame rate in the game dropped every now and then.

Dark Souls 3 is a challenging game, but it is also the reason why it's irresistible. Its difficulty will make you feel rewarding after you finish the whole sequel. The journey may be rough, but there's a crown waiting at the end.
