So, we know that the pack will include new weapons, spells, armour, monsters, and bosses – all bringing with them inventive new ways to die.

Japanese gaming blog Hachima (via Polygon) reports that the impending edition of Famitsu magazine includes exclusive pictures of some of the elemental powers we can expect to use  in ‘Ashes of Ariande’.

These include some sweet new ice powers, a promising looking fiery sword, and some kind of light-filled boomerang. There’s also an exclusive PvP map called Immortal Competition – though it’s not really clear what that entails at the moment.

This is the first of two planned expansion packs, which can either be purchased separately or picked up as part of the season pass, which grants access to all future content.
