Previews for the Elden Ring DLC have just been released! Lots of journalists and popular Souls players have been to an event where they played the DLC for a few hours, giving us way more info on what to expect and things such as new weapon types and upgrade materials. This isn’t a comprehensive list, just the few that I found quickly.

8 new weapon types
100+ new weapons
There’s new types of progression where you can find items that make you stronger but only in the DLC.
The first area of the DLC is as big as Limgrave
People got to see the first 2 legacy dungeons, say they’re really good and there’s lots of secrets.
The consensus is that it’s more Elden Ring. Overall people are stoked.
