FromSoftware, the renowned game development studio, has exciting news for fans of Elden Ring. They recently announced the development of the game’s first major expansion, titled ‘Shadow of the Erdtree.’ This announcement comes on the heels of the game’s one-year anniversary and the disappointment of fans who were hoping for new content on February 25. However, just three days later, FromSoftware unveiled key artwork that provides hints about what to expect from the upcoming expansion.
In a blog post, FromSoftware confirmed that the Elden Ring DLC, ‘Shadow of the Erdtree,’ will be available on PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series S/X. Unfortunately, a specific launch date has not yet been specified.
Although the announcement remains cryptic, with only scenic imagery and artwork provided, fans have already started speculating about the content. The artwork reveals an open field with two intertwined trees in the distance. Upon closer inspection, it becomes apparent that one of the trees is severely damaged, with golden sap leaking from it. This results in the leaves and branches losing their glow and turning dark. Additionally, a mysterious figure, resembling Melina’s spectral steed Torrent, can be seen riding a horse to the far right of the artwork.
Furthermore, through data mining and theories, it has been widely speculated that the DLC will revolve around Miquella. Miquella, cursed with eternal youth, embarked on a mission to create the Haligtree. The purpose of this endeavor was to mature into an adult and eliminate the rot that consumes his Empyrean sister, Malenia. However, Miquella’s plans were hampered when his uncle Mohg, the Lord of Blood, kidnapped him and imprisoned him in the Mohgwyn Dynasty Mausoleum. In the arena within the mausoleum, players may notice a peculiar cocoon or egg where Miquella is slumbering.
It’s worth mentioning that Elden Ring recently released its first minor DLC, the ‘Colosseum,’ which focused on PvP content. This expansion allowed players to partake in combat within select arenas. The success of Elden Ring is evident as the game has sold over 20 million copies worldwide in less than a year. In a recent interview, game director Hidetaka Miyazaki expressed their commitment to creating games that align with their creative vision and are not influenced by commercial success.
Fans of Elden Ring can look forward to the upcoming ‘Shadow of the Erdtree’ expansion, which will be available on various platforms, including PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series S/X. While eager players await further details, the anticipation for new adventures in the Lands Between continues to grow.
