In a series of posts on X, From Software broke down what players can expect in the update. There will be five new hairstyles added to the character creator, which can be accessed either at the start of the game, using the Clouded Mirror Stand, or using Rennala’s Rebirth feature. The game’s inventory is getting some improvements as well, with a new “Recent Items” tab set to be added that should make keeping track of new items found in the game’s DLC easier. Newly obtained items will also be displayed with an exclamation point in the inventory screen. Summoning Pools will receive some new features, with active summoning pools carrying over to NG+ following the update and the ability to enable or disable individual summoning pools using a new Map Function menu.
