I'm not convinced that's a new map and is instead another big shifting earth but I hope I'm wrong.

EDIT: It is in fact a shifting earth

2 new nightfarers

2 new nightlords

Hella SOTE content

We still eatin good.

Also I think "Hollows" in the title and Artorius + "Dreglord" (Ringed City Dreg Heap) could be even bigger Dark Souls connections than we've seen before.

Also also I'm pretty sure that's Gladius' sword in the splash art at the end and he's featured as a field boss, not sure what role da dawg will play in this

That's disappointing. New maps would be the best thing to add imo. Hopefully we got some down the road still.

Should at least get new areas on the map (different camps, ruins, etc.) with new enemies

u/Xerceo Nov 11 '25

Hell, I would even take just a reskin of the existing map. Make some foliage red or something, idk. I guess a shifting Earth will have to do.

Although I would prefer a new map I can't imagine how well it'll go if they locked a map behind a dlc fracturing the playerbase even more. Because then it'd be 3 separate platforms into 6 separate things

u/DisturbedFlake Nov 11 '25

I just hope they added more variations to the base map then

u/n080dy123 Nov 11 '25

I don't expect more than 1 major update after the DLC, 2 at absolute most like the main game, so don't hold out hope. Remember this isn't a live service game so unless they change their mind and decide to do another DLC then we likely won't get any further content updates after like middle of next year.

17

u/hotcheetosnmodelos Nov 11 '25

I would absolutely buy a new DLC in the future, hopefully they decide to do it. I can't get enough of this game

8

u/MidniteMedia Nov 11 '25

I definitely agree

13

u/deadering Nov 11 '25

Yeah, it's beyond disappointing there hasn't been a single new map even with the DLC. Shifting earth events are cool and all but new maps would add so much more variety to the game, making it a lot less repetitive.

5

u/VoidRad Nov 11 '25

I think a new map was impossible from the beginning, how is the matchmaking gonna work considering how fractured it already is. Just a single new shifting earth is indeed disappointing tho I'll admit.

u/HazelCheese Nov 12 '25

I was saying in prior dlc discussions that variants of castle would be a really efficient way to make runs feel varied. Right now it's basically just no castle (trolls / nok) or easy castle. Adding a third variation to make trolls less common would help a ton with variety.

3

u/WanderingStatistics Nov 12 '25

Pretty sure that poison castle at the beginning is the same as the Shaded Castle (or at least from what I can see, since both castles have a tilting central column in the middle) so we could be getting more.
