"Dark Souls 3": new patch details
According to VG 24/7, the new patch primarily zeroes in on some of the glitches in PvP to make battles more fair. The other sizable fix is that it’s no longer possible to get invaded during a boss fight in "Dark Souls 3".
Here's a complete list of notes of the issues fixed where:
- A player could invade another player during a boss battle.
- An enchantment could be applied to weapons which normally could not be enchanted.
- When items are used while casting magic, display glitches could occasionally occur.
- Where it was possible to cancel immediately into a second magic spell after casting the first one.
- The first part of a skill action could be skipped.
- A single item could be used indefinitely.

"Dark Souls": future project with "The Expanse"?
Per IGN, Ty Franck, the co-creator of "The Expanse" revealed that he has worked with "Dark Souls" developers, FromSoftware on an unknown project. Franck added that he liked writing stuff for them, that's why he's familiar with the franchise.
When asked to clarify if he was referring to a current project, he said he's done it in and it was under a nondisclosure agreement. Although, it is not clear if Franck worked on past games and can't talk about them, it is still speculated that he is part of a yet to be revealed collaboration. In spite of that, he guaranteed that the work is already done and it's not "Space Souls".
There are possible projects that Franck could be involved with, as FromSoftware is working on three new games now. One of those is a new "Armored Core", a series whichshared similar themes of humanity at war with itself to "The Expanse". It looks fans might have to wait it out a bit.
Meanwhile, the second and final DLC for "Dark Souls 3", The Ringed City, will be out Mar. 28.
Do you play "Dark Souls 3?" Are you looking forward to its possible development with "The Expanse"?
