Elden Ring DLC Lacks Trophies - Fans Disappointed

FromSoftware's highly anticipated expansion for Elden Ring, Shadow of the Erdtree, released on June 21, 2024, does not include new PlayStation Trophies or Steam/Xbox Achievements. Despite offering approximately 25 hours of additional content, including new exploration areas and bosses, fans may be surprised by the absence of digital rewards, which are typically included with large DLC expansions. This decision aligns with FromSoftware's prior practices for other games like Dark Souls and Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice, although Bloodborne's The Old Hunters DLC did feature Trophies. IGN praised the DLC, giving it a 10/10 rating, appreciating its compact campaign and fresh challenges.

FromSoftware typically doesn't include new Trophies or Achievements in its DLCs, as seen with Dark Souls and Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice. The decision for Shadow of the Erdtree aligns with this practice, even though Bloodborne's The Old Hunters DLC did include Trophies, likely due to its PlayStation exclusivity.

Elden Ring, released in February 2022, quickly became a landmark RPG, blending elements of action and role-playing. Renowned for its intricate world design, challenging gameplay, and expansive lore, the game garnered widespread acclaim and numerous awards, solidifying FromSoftware's reputation for creating immersive and challenging experiences. Shadow of the Erdtree builds on this legacy, providing fans with new areas to explore and daunting bosses to conquer.
