Bandai Namco has concluded "Dark Souls III" by releasing an edition that bundles the base game along with its two DLCs — "The Ringed City" and "Ashes of Ariandel" — into one, called "The Fire Fades."

"Dark Souls III" is an action role-playing video game developed by FromSoftware and published by Bandai Namco Entertainment, which was released in March 2016. The game was initially only available on PlayStation4, but over the past year, it has become available in other platforms such as the Xbox One and PC.

By October last year, Bandai Namco released its first DLC, "Ashes of Ariandel," while the second and final one, "The Ringed City," only hit the market in March this year.

This month, the publishers concluded "Dark Souls III" with a compilation called "The Fire Fades," featuring the base game and its two DLC packs, GameSpot confirmed.

The PlayStation4, Xbox One, and PC versions of this bundle are all available in U.K. and Australia. However, the PC version is not yet available in the U.S. Players from the latter who want the PC version can purchase the Deluxe Edition, which instead features the base game and a season pass.

However, there appear to be no real additions to "The Fire Fades" other than bundling the two DLC packs with the base game.

This is because players have already felt the end of "Dark Souls III" in its second DLC pack, "The Ringed City." To compare "Ashes of Ariandel," it appeared to have a weak gameplay and an almost aimless direction.

According to Kotaku, one of the reasons why "The Ringed City" was better was because it offers stronger enemies and bigger bosses than the first DLC pack. It was even recommended to have a character that was at level 125 to ensure a success in the game.

"Dark Souls III: The Fire Fades" is available on PlayStation4, Xbox One, and PC.
