|||- Additional playable characters and bosses|||
What does this mean? I'm hyped for this game, but this is some of the most misleading/confusing information I've ever seen for a product I'm meant to pre-order. I am truly not trying to be negative, I am perhaps just too stupid understand plain English. Is there any clarity on this? Is this just an extra $15 for a $20 DLC that's coming out Q4? That would make rational sense. The wording makes it sound like Day 1 DLC with extra characters and bosses. That seems . . .odd? confusing? Help pls

It's like some season pass included in deluxe edition that will grant you access to a paid DLC which will release somewhere at the end of the year.

Did EA infiltrate FS somehow?

Yeah those are part of a future DLC that is gonna release later this year.
Notice how it starts with a "-" instead of a "*"? That's because those are part of the additional DLC mentioned before.

This was my assumption, and frankly I have enough faith in FromSoft that I don't think they are trying to steal my money for a sub-par product. Just not a fan of pre-orders and especially if they aren't crystal clear in what you get for pre-ordering, or for a some kind of bundled deluxeultramegagoldfoil edition.
