Leading video game publisher and developer Bandai Namco Games America and FromSoftware today announced the impending arrival of three new DLC chapters to the critically acclaimed Dark Souls II for the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, and PC via Steam.
These three new DLC chapters known as The Lost Crowns trilogy will take Dark Souls II fans through entirely original areas to face a slew of unknown enemies, overcome diabolic challenges, and take-on fearsome bosses.
Crown of the Sunken King, the first chapter in this DLC trilogy, will be available in the Americas on July, 22nd, 2014 followed by the DLC launches of Crown of the Old Iron King on August 26th, 2014 and Crown of the Ivory King on September 24th, 2014. A Season Pass program will also be offered for the entire The Lost Crowns trilogy via Steam for PC players in the Americas.
Crown of the Sunken King, the first chapter in the trilogy, sends players on a journey to reclaim the crowns that Drangleic’s King Vendrick once owned. Crown of the Sunken King features an entirely different world within the Dark Souls II universe, where stepped pyramids span a vast underground cavern.
It is said that one of the ancient crowns lay buried deep within these dark caverns; but surely such a valued item cannot sit unguarded. Players that seek adversity and glory will be rewarded with a crown that holds the strength of lords from times long past.
“To say we are excited to unleash these three new chapters to Dark Souls II fans is an understatement.” said Chris Gilbert, Senior Vice President of Sales and Marketing at Bandai Namco Games America “Bandai Namco Games is very proud of the universal praise and enjoyment fans have both given and received from Dark Souls II.
The Lost Crowns trilogy and more specifically the Crown of the Sunken King will kick-off what will surely be an exciting summer of speculation and anticipation of the new battles, challenges, and triumphs to come amongst our most ardent fans.”
