A couple months back I decided to prep my PS5 for the DLC as my PC died, then decided to prep some other characters because if you just beeline things the critical path isn't that long.
So I have the choice of a few play styles. Only 1 character has been to the doc entrance area, though, but shouldn't be too hard to get the others through it.
Then it's just an on the day choice between faith+greathammer, greatshield tank, caster, occult spiked club, ol' reliable greatsword, or a Dex character I couldn't settle on a weapon for.
Though if the translation of 8 new weapon CATEGORIES is correct and it's not just 8 new unique weapons then I suspect they'll be seeded through the base game too. So a new character run would be an idea, too.

Very minor spoiler for the beginning of the expansion:
Miyazaki confirmed you have to finish the Mohgwyn Palace area to access the DLC. That definitely puts it at mid to late game.
I'll probably be starting a new character on June 21 but I imagine that means it'll be a few days before I'm actually in the DLC.
Oh yeah thanks, actually remember that now.
I've started my second ever proper playthrough this week, just beat Margit and Godrick. Think I might be enjoying it even more this time, now I have a semblance of what the strawberry float is going on.
