This version of the game will include all three DLC expansions - "Dragon of the North," "Defiant Honour," and "Bloodshed's End" - which means players on the PC will insantly have access to all seven weapon types (sword, dual swords, spears, axes, kusarigama, odachi, and tonfas), as well as the new Ninjustu and Onmyo magic that were added via those expansions. The new missions and Guardian Spirits that were also included in the DLC will unlock naturally as players progress through and complete the main story campaign on the initial difficulty (Way of the Samurai). PC players will also get to enjoy a special helmet, the "Dharmachakra Kabuto helmet," that features a lacquered crest that is either a Wheel of Dharma, or a "device to regulate steam," depending on who you ask. Finally, similar to how Nioh on the PlayStation 4 allows players to take advantage of the PS4 Pro features by switching the graphics mode, PC players will be able to choose the "stable 60fps" 'Action Mode,' or the 4k resolution available in 'Movie Mode.'

Players who either purchase the DLC for $9.99, or have access to the Season Pass, will be able to visit the new Osaka Castle location, complete with the legendary warrior Sanada Yukimura and new enemy types. They will also get access to a whole new weapon type (the Tonfa), new armor pieces, new magic items, and new guardian spirits. Further difficulty levels and trophies are also being introduced with this DLC, though the exact number and nature of each were not specified.

The DLC picks up after the end of the main game. I won't spoil anything here, but you'll definitely want to play through it all if for no other reason than the content itself is aimed at your character being around level 150 or so. Rather than being set in central/southern Japan, "Dragon of the North" takes you to the Northern Oshu regions to meet/face off against Date Masamune, a daimyo known for his military tactics and often called "One-Eyed Dragon" due to, well, only having one eye.
