The post went viral, and many players started recommending ways on how to defeat Rykard. Despite being a beloved character, he remains one of the toughest bosses in the game.

One of the standout features of the new expansion is the number and variety of new bosses, each more challenging than the last.

Another favorite character mentioned was the new Messmer, who surprised the entire community in the first trailer, where his voice was heard while revealing his form. Godwyn was also mentioned several times, despite not even being a boss.

Players generally highlight how well-designed these characters are, as well as the rich lore behind their origins and backstories.

All FromSoftware fans are eagerly awaiting the reveal of the studio’s next title. It is expected to be as significant as Elden Ring, which has sold over 25 million units since its release in 2022.

Thanks to the release of this expansion, the game has become more popular than ever, continuing to add to its impressive sales numbers. For now, there is no information about what the next big game will be.

I'm a big fan of movies and videogames in general. I really love Pokémon and Godzilla. One of my favorite games is The Last of Us, Part II. A compelling and well-written story is always welcome.
