New Dark Souls 3: The Ringed City screens come with the usual warnings about spoilers in the flavour text

By Brenna Hillier

Dark Souls 3: The Ringed City is the last chapter we’re likely to see for a long, long time. Are you ready to spoil it a bit now?

It’s the nature of Dark Souls 3 (and the franchise in general) to be extremely mysterious – so the “spoilers” in the text accompanying these new screenshots for upcoming DLC The Ringed City probably won’t mean much except to hardcore lore hounds.

That said, it is nice to go in and experience it all fresh, so perhaps close the tab and vow to be a better person. Dark Souls 3: The Ringed City releases this month for PC, PS4 and Xbox One. Goodness knows how we’ll fit it in with everything else, but we’ll do our best.

The Chaos Fire itself is a curved sword as it transforms into a sword shape. It could be a weapon to be used as a sword or simultaneously, as pyromancy.

An ancient weapon with demented, tangled remains. The Mad King still lives inside and when the King awakens, it emits the power to protect the master. Though the King could be whimsical.

A Dragon that breathes fire. As it sinks into the darkness, black crystals that appear on its body fly into the air. At last, the dragon may be consumed by the darkness…

A grey giant who appears to wear the old judicator clothes. Raising its hands up in the air, the giant is shouting towards the ceiling. Seems it’s calling someone far up in the sky.

A knight covered in heavy armour whom you encounter at Dreg Heap. If trusting his words, the knight has become a hollow who has lost his memory. The knight seems to continue his journey in order to gain back his forgotten memory.

A Ringed Knight, who is one of the old knights. The withered sword, which was sealed by the Gods in the past, seems to have regained its past appearance.

An ancient city that has sunken under darkness. Many things have sunken, but at the same time, many have arose.
