How do you play it if you already finished the game?

Finally! Adam, is that DLC integrated into the main campaign, or is it a separate adventure? And most importantly, how long is it? OWB size, etc?

Treasures of the Sun seems pretty hefty for the price. A new area, higher level cap *and* rebuild capability? I will so buy this. More DS3 is definitely good. :)

The fact that they're actually adding new abilities and an enchanting system makes me pretty happy :) Also like the fact that they're exploring yet another type of environment, that's one of the places in which the game shone.

The DLC also adds in various new abilities and raises the level cap from 30 to 35. There'll be new monsters to fight and items to pick up, and a new Enchanting system that lets players enhance their weapons and armour.

 

Very cool.

 

As an aside, on the eurogamer link, there is an advertisement for DSIII offering the physical copy for one price and the downloaded copy for less. I dont know which country the ad comes from but is that a common practice in Europe?

Good news! I hope we will get to learn more soon!

The way it sounds, we will take the Causeway to that new place. It's far enough from the regions seen in the original game to imagine that we can't see the various consequences of our choices, so I see no reason why it couldn't be set right after the game has ended.

I hope the new abilities will be for the existing characters and not the abilities of a new character.

They're different companies, so that explains that. I think one of those only sells the activation code for Steam.

I very much doubt the abilities are for a new character, otherwise the bullet point would have been something like:

 

* A WHOLE NEW CHARACTER: GROMNIR, THE SCHIZOPHRENIC ORC-BARD, WHO SWITCHES BETWEEN AN AGGRESSIVE ARGUMENTATIVE STANCE, AND A MORE THOUGHTFUL SARCASTIC STANCE, WITH A WHOLE NEW SET OF ABILITIES AND ITEMS.

But the last save is just before the last boss fight, how do you take the causeway from there?

"Endgame autosave" is in the Causeway, actually. The final autosave is marked "East Forest". It could work if someone isn't the type to delete saves as they go.

This article seems to copy directly from the official press release.

New abilities: Players will be able to attain mastery of the arcane through powerful new attack, defense and healing abilities.

Also head over to Gamebanshee where WorstUsernameEver has uploaded the first six screenshots + original press release.

Good point, may be that's why they did it that way.

Quick question for Adam if you can answer this:

 

How big is/was the team working on the DLC?
