Dark Souls III: Ashes of Ariandel Now Available

Bandai Namco has released Dark Souls III: Ashes of Ariandel, the first of two planned downloadable expansions to Dark Souls III for the PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC via Steam.

Return to the mysterious world of Lothric and embrace a new mission as players encounter a diseased world within a painting created to house unwanted beings. Players are tasked to enter this new world, uncover its mysteries, and defeat the evil sealed within its frigid landscape. Throughout their adventure, players will equip new weapons, armor, and spells as they encounter hulking battle-hardened warriors, packs of territorial wolves, a settlement of grotesque inhabitants, and other horrors as they venture deeper into a world descended into madness.

Dark Souls III: Ashes of Ariandel also includes Undead Matches, a brand new way to play online against other players around the world. By entering these multiplayer matches players can honorably duel against a fellow Cursed Undead, or do battle in free-for-all brawls or team-based fights for up to five other players. Entry into the Undead Matches does not come easily though, as adventurous players must first defeat a fearsome foe hidden within the world of Ariandel.

NBA 2K17 Simulates Complete ’16-’17 NBA Season

Tip-off for the 2016-17 NBA season is just a few short hours away and 2K has run a simulation of the entire season through NBA 2K17 to see how they think things will shake out. Highlights include:

Lakers’ Young Talent

  • The Lakers youth began to shock many skeptics with the improved play of Russell, Clarkson and rookie sensation Brandon Ingram, who took home the rookie of the year award this season. While they missed the post-season, their future has been solidified with their young talent.

Awards All Around

  • Brandon Knight had a great season, earning himself Sixth Man Of The Year Award while Deandre Jordan stepped it up defensively for the Clippers and took home the KIA Defensive Player of the Year award. Dennis Schroder earned himself the Kia Most Improved Player award with a great season in Atlanta.

A True NBA Rivalry

  • It was a rematch of the last two years, a true NBA rivalry once again shining on the NBA’s biggest stage: Cleveland vs. Golden State, each team having won a ring against the other in the last two seasons.

Reigning Champions Prove Themselves

  • The Cavs reminded everyone why they won the ring with chemistry looking better than ever. LeBron James led by example and helped elevate his entire team to new heights. NBA 2K17 predicts the Cavs coming out on top in 7 games, once again, claiming their 2nd straight title.

Regular Season MVP

  • LeBron James was awarded MVP, proving his game like aged fine wine.
