The upcoming second installment in The Lost Crowns DLC trilogy for From Software's action role-playing game Dark Souls 2 has just gotten a batch of fresh screenshots, ahead of its launch later this month.

The new areas and enemies look better and overall more interesting than Crown of the Sunken King's denizens and backgrounds, and those who enjoyed Dark Souls 2 and its first DLC episode will most likely have a blast with this one.

The first installment in the episodic DLC pack was released last month, introducing a few slight tweaks to the consecrated formula. For one, the difficulty level has been increased, in order to provide a challenge for even the most grizzled of Dark Souls veterans.

Additionally, the overall progression through the campaign missions is a bit different from the way things were in the main game, offering a refreshing and unique experience to long-time players.

The Crown of the Old Iron King comes with a lot of new weapons, new equipment and new locations to explore, as well as a handful of new and brutal enemies to test your mettle against.

The Crown of the Old Iron King DLC is set to launch on August 26, 2014, across all available formats – Windows PC, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360.
