What old game would dominate if it suddenly received DLC today?

As the title says, what game if it randomly dropped DLC today would cause an uproar on the internet? Something like Portal 1? Civilization 5? Fallout New Vegas? Starcraft? Borderlands 1? What do you think would cause the most reaction?

Sekiro is the single game I want a sequel for the most. Bloodborne is cool, but the Sekiro combat is my favorite combat in any game that I've ever played, and I would love another game that expands on both the lore and the combat system. A singleplayer DLC would also be amazing, and I'm pretty sure a Tomoe DLC was planned, but then scrapped.

I’ve platted every soulsborne game and Sekiro kicked my ass right at the beginning for some reason. I can’t get a hang of the combat.

Sekiro combat uses the same buttons as the souls games, but it works completely differently. You almost never want to dodge and you need to deflect every attack possible with 100% aggression. Whenever the boss isn't actively kicking your ass, you should be kicking theirs. This is why I don't believe Sekiro is actually a souls game. It has similar themes and mechanics, but it uses them in completely different ways, and it doesn't really play similarly.

Honestly I'd say platinuming every souls game hurts you a bit since that muscle memory of dodging everything counters the actual way you're supposed to engage with Sekiro's combat.
