It's a stunning sight, all bathed in the ominous glow of the Darksign-esque solar eclipse that emerges towards the end of Dark Souls 3.

Dark Souls 3's setting of Lothric is described in the base game's intro as the "transitory lands", and the Dreg Heap epitomizes that ephemeral theme: it's a landscape jaggedly twisting into itself, as if frozen in time as it was swirling down a drain towards an abyss. During a brief hands-on demo, I got to venture into the opening area of this new DLC: the Dreg Heap, the sprawling expanse you see in the trailer above, with crumbling ruins jutting out of mountaintops as far as the eye can see. The Ringed City, a phrase typically associated with the mystical lost city of Atlantis, is just a part of this new realm - your end-goal destination.
