Amid the flood of State of Play headlines this week, one major announcement may have slipped under your radar: 2025’s breakout soulslike hit AI LIMIT has officially unveiled its first DLC expansion, Eirene’s Furnace of War — and it’s arriving sooner than expected.
Publisher CE-Asia and developer Sense Games confirmed that AI LIMIT: Eirene’s Furnace of War launches on March 27, 2026, for PlayStation 5 and PC. A brand-new trailer showcases brutal boss encounters, fresh environments, and expanded build options for veteran players ready to return to the battlefield.
AI LIMIT DLC Release Date Confirmed for March 27, 2026
The AI LIMIT Eirene’s Furnace of War DLC continues the story after the ending of the base game. Players once again step into the role of Blader Arrisa as she enters the Temple of War — a deadly proving ground overseen by Eirene the Warfare Bishop.
This new chapter isn’t just narrative filler. It’s a full-scale combat expansion designed to challenge experienced soulslike players with:
- A brand-new primary boss encounter
- Reworked returning bosses with enhanced mechanics
- A new Furnace Arena mode
- Fresh endgame combat scenarios
For fans who mastered AI LIMIT’s fast-paced combat at launch, this DLC promises a significant difficulty spike.
New Weapons, Armor, Spells, and Seals Expand Build Variety
One of the biggest highlights of Eirene’s Furnace of War is the expanded customization system.
The DLC introduces:
- New melee and ranged weapons
- Additional armor sets
- Brand-new Spells
- New Seals for build experimentation
These additions give players deeper strategic flexibility, allowing for entirely new combat styles in both the main DLC campaign and the Furnace Arena.
For a game already praised for its dynamic combat system, this expansion significantly broadens build diversity and replay value.
AI LIMIT’s Ongoing Success on Steam and PS5
Since its 2025 launch, AI LIMIT has become one of the most successful indie soulslike titles in recent memory.
The game currently holds:
- 92% “Very Positive” rating
- Over 32,000 user reviews on Steam
Its blend of distinct anime-inspired art direction, tight combat mechanics, and intricate level design helped it stand out in a crowded soulslike market.
With Eirene’s Furnace of War, CE-Asia’s most successful global release to date is aiming to maintain that momentum well into 2026.
A Soulslike Built on Speed and Precision
Unlike slower, stamina-heavy soulslikes, AI LIMIT carved out its niche through:
- Faster-paced combat
- Responsive movement systems
- Stylish boss encounters
- Intricately layered environments
The DLC appears to double down on those strengths, introducing reworked boss mechanics designed specifically to test seasoned players.
If you thought you had already conquered AI LIMIT, March 27 may prove otherwise.
