Dark Souls II: Crown of the Sunken King
Embark on a journey to reclaim a crown that Drangleic’s King Vendrick once owned. This perilous quest will lead you through an entirely different world within the DARK SOULS II universe, where stepped pyramids span a vast underground cavern. It is said that one of the ancient crowns lay buried deep within these dark caverns; but surely such a valued item cannot sit unguarded. Explore in search of a crown that holds the strength of lords from times long past.

From Software looks to the original Dark Souls for inspiration in the first of three announced expansions to Dark Souls II.” - New areas are filled with difficult enemies - Level design recalls original Dark Souls - New equipment offers interesting twists - Story remains shrouded - Somewhat anticlimactic The first expansion to From Software’s Dark Souls II wastes no time in reminding you of its pedigree.

From Software went above and beyond with their Crown of the Sunken King DLC: invest in its tiny asking price, and you may find yourself getting just as much time out of it as you would a $60 game. But it's more than just the amount of content that makes this DLC irresistible—it's what From did with it.

The content of The Crown of the Sunken King seems small in comparison to the Artorias expansion for the original game, but with two other pieces coming to expand upon things (and the promise of additional secrets when all three have been cleared), I can’t wait to die again.

All in all, this is a homerun for FromSoft, and with another two episodes to come, Crown of the Sunken King has set a benchmark of quality that, if matched by episodes two and three, will mark an excellent continuation to an already great title.

In a certain light The Crown of the Sunken King actually does it better, employing different constraints and driving new ways to explore and appreciate Dark Souls II's finer details. To dispense with objective matters of fact, The Crown of the Sunken King is the first of three downloadable expansions for Dark Souls II.
