Dark Souls 3, the action role-playing video game received its last update in August and now it will soon be releasing its next patch update 1.08, which is expected to bring performance fixes and necessary changes.
This game from the Japanese company, From Software has been a critical and commercial success since it released in April 2016.
The 1.08 update will bring changes to the Poise stat, which will again bring value to the game. The Poise stats were crucial for the game that focuses on boss fights and combat. In Dark Souls 3 the Poise stats were having no effect on the gameplay. This had players confused. But the new patch has assured players of the fix.
The 1.08 is expected to be released on October 21. Dark Souls 3 is awaiting The Ashes of Ariandel DLC soon.
