Although the season pass for "Dark Souls 3" is currently available, there are no specific release dates yet for the two DLC packs. As stated by the Day Herald, the first DLC is expected this fall while the second follows in early 2017. However, during this year's E3 the company did confirm that the DLC packs will be the last "Dark Souls 3" entry as they are developing three new games.
All three games are not related to "Dark Souls" by any means. From Software's Hidetaka Miyazaki stated that the developers do not want to be identified solely for "Dark Souls" and will not be working on further sequels or spin-offs for the time being as they focus on other projects.
Miyazaki did explain that they may always return to the "Dark Souls" series in the future and that one of the new games they are working on right now will still have a dark fantasy vibe to it. As stated in a report from Push Square, it indicates that they may be working on a successor to "Bloodborne."
The second game is speculated to be a new entry or a possible reboot in the "Armored Core" franchise. Miyazaki explained that they were always going to go back to the series as it was one of the games that started his career as a game developer.
It is further stated that third title they are currently working on is something unique and Miyazaki himself refers to it as an odd game, likely as a comparison to the dark nature of their most recent endeavors. With this in mind many fans have speculated that the third title may be a colorful platformer or a VR-related video game.
No official release date has yet been announced for the DLC packs but the first one is expected to launch by August or September and the second DLC to release before March 2017.
