The series likes its little nods to it's previous installments. I'm sure they'll be there.

Not mention From as a whole loving the MLGS all the way from King's Field.

We know the Lord of Cinder typically refers to Gwyn, so maybe this is directly after he Links the Flame? Kinda fits with the whole "everything is burnt and ashy this go around" theme it seems like they have going.
