Say, do you like dusty tombs? Hideous eldritch abominations? Annoying poison-spitting statue things? Then Dark Souls 2’s upcoming DLC expansion The Lost Crowns might just be for you.
Here’s a batch of new screenshots from the new content, showing some of the unique ways players will be able to get killed. Click on the screens below for sexy full-screen versions.
I’m still not entirely sold on the concept of Dark Souls DLC. The core games feel like such tightly designed game-worlds with such hardcore mindsets that the wishy-washy corporate blandness of the ‘DLC package’ seems like it should be for lesser, weaker titles.
Still, I suppose more dungeon-crawling is more dungeon-crawling, and the first episode of The Lost Crowns has a nice, vaguely Lovecraftian crypts-and-crawling-things feel to it that I’m really keen on. What’s at the other end of that tentacle (below left)?
Part one of the three-part Lost Crowns series is out on all versions of the game this July 22.
