Editor at Fextralife. I look for the substantial in gaming and I try to connect video games to the emotions and stories they elicit. I love all things culture and history and have an odd fondness for the planet Jupiter. I think my dogs are pretty awesome too.
“Unkindled one, if you are like us, another forlorn soul, with no place to call your own, then show my lady flame.”
Yeah, this is definitely the Painted World of Ariamis. That bit about forlorn souls having nowhere else to go is on a couple of the Corvian weapons and the Painting Guardian stuff.
Maybe, assuming Ariamis based it off anywhere and didn’t just make it up entirely. But considering all the references to the Painted World in the base game, I can’t imagine it being anything else.
Well this is definitely interesting.
Though, I wonder, itlookslike Ariamis, but isn’t there the possibility of it being the place Ariamis was based off of rather then the Painted World itself? Which would also be pretty interesting.
Link to the trailer, if anyone missed it.
Watching the trailer, bowl guy is trying to beat you to death with it.
There also appears to be a misplaced Viking.
Looks like pestilent mercury, Frost addition.
I’ll include better translations with official screenshots / trailer in an upcoming article
seems like its not an aoe but something akin to soul stream or fire surge dammit
i agree it seems like we are going to the painted world likely by using the piece of cloth presented by that man in red
i assume ariandel is the princess he speaks off
Golden tray looks a lot like the Lord Vessel. Gwyn, is that you?
Red hood, as I said, seems like Ingward.
And that’s all of them. Let the speculation commence.
Uhhhh, frost sorcery. I know my next build.
Um, belfry shot looks like Ariamis 2.0 to me.
That’s who I was thinking too.
I want to know who the long whitehaired person is in the album.
It’d be really awesome if we returned to the Painted World.
Red hood? Ingward?
Based on the images, I’m guessing this DLC takes place in the Painted World of Ariamis. Fits with the previously mentioned ‘snow theme’ the DLC was said to have, DaS3 frequently mentions the area but it isn’t accessible, and in DaS1 the place was seemingly designed with PvP in mind (red soapstone was there, optional boss you could walk right past, fun and varied layout, circular arena-like area, and so on).
The new PvP mode sounds exactly like what I was hoping it would be, what with being based on invading. This is good to know.
There was an error, and apparently the DLC pvp mode is “different from invading”, not “based on invading”. It may just be a standard arena, then.
