New to Fromsoft DLC, what do I need to know? (self.eldenring)

I hadn't played a Souls/like/borne game before Elden Ring, but the moment I did I fell in love with the sub-genre.

That said, I've never played any of the DLC before, so I'm wondering how I need to approach it. For context: I finished Elden Ring but never started a NG+ run.

Can I jump back in with my guy, or am I going to have to work my way up to the part of the game that unlocks the DLC?

Thanks.

Every other FromSoft DLC takes place right before the end of the game, essentially. They all have end-game level enemies and weapons/spells. This one, however, will apparently be different, although having only played Sekiro for an hour or so I am uncertain what they mean. So it sounds like you could go either way. Personally, I'm going to start it with my current character and see how that goes.

It means it'll still be end-game, but there will be a new system for rewarding the player aside from levelling. Sekiro's system made you increase your damage after defeating bosses, the article is saying something similar will be in Elden Ring since people will likely be coming into the DLC with level 120+ and wouldn't be too excited about just levelling up.
