Dark Souls III: The Ringed City is the second and final DLC for Dark Souls III, developed by FromSoftware and published by Bandai Namco Entertainment on March 27, 2017. It follows the Ashes of Ariandel expansion and closes out the Dark Souls series under director Hidetaka Miyazaki. The Ashen One travels to the end of the world, through the collapsing ruins of the Dreg Heap, to find the Ringed City, a place sealed away by the gods and home to the pygmy lords.
The expansion keeps the base game's deliberate melee combat, stamina management and punishing difficulty, then raises the stakes with some of the series' hardest bosses, including Darkeater Midir and Slave Knight Gael. It adds new areas, enemy types, weapons, armor sets, spells and items that you can carry back into the main game. Online co-op and invasions work as they do in the base game. Because it is late-game content, most players tackle it after reaching the final stretch of the main story. You need Dark Souls III on the same account to play it. A Dark Souls III: The Ringed City CD key is a cheap way to finish the trilogy's story, and fans who move on can look at Elden Ring, FromSoftware's open-world follow-up. See the official Steam page for details.
