FromSoftware announces: Elden Ring expansion to take a little longer

Dec 02, 2023 9:20 AM

Elden Ring fans will have to wait a bit longer for the game's upcoming expansion, 'Shadow of the Erdtree'. Although a definitive release date has not been announced, FromSoftware assures that development is proceeding smoothly. The expansion is said to include new battles and characters, promising content that may be reminiscent of previous FromSoftware DLC like 'The Old Hunters' for Bloodborne.

Elden Ring, which launched in February 2022, has been a tremendous success. The title has sold over twenty million copies and has frequently been awarded Game of the Year accolades. The game is celebrated for its massive open world and intricate design, encompassing elements of Dark Souls, Bloodborne, and Sekiro. It has established a new benchmark for the soulslike subgenre with its expansive and daunting game world.

The highly-anticipated PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X/S, and PC game is known for its challenging gameplay and immersive experience. While fans eagerly anticipate new content, 'Shadow of the Erdtree', they can remain excited knowing that the same dedication to quality gaming that cemented Elden Ring as a staple in the RPG community is being applied to the expansion.

Elden Ring's success has naturally set high expectations for 'Shadow of the Erdtree,' and if FromSoftware's track record with DLC is anything to go by, we're in for another epic, lore-rich journey. Patience may be a virtue seldom rewarded in the Lands Between, but it looks like it'll pay off for fans eager to dive deeper into its mysteries with this expansion.

Patience seems to be the name of the game for Elden Ring enthusiasts; if 'Shadow of the Erdtree' mirrors the depth of 'The Old Hunters', the wait should be well worth it. FromSoftware has a knack for crafting worlds that leave players lost in the best ways, so I'm stoked to see how this expansion builds upon an already epic legacy.

Ah, the longing for more Elden Ring content is real, but good things come to those who wait, right It's heartening to hear that FromSoftware is upholding its rep for rich, engrossing DLC—can't wait to dive into what's sure to be another beautifully punishing chapter of the Lands Between.
