did the contents of a major DLC just leak?

Again, proper data mining may well be a mine of information. Proof of this is this leak from Elden Ring.

Once again, Elden Ring is the destination of curious little ones who come to explore the data to learn more about future content in advance. In this regard, a data miner named Sekiro Dubi on Twitter searched the 1.07 update files and found some interesting things.

Is Elden Ring preparing a big DLC?

The man discovered that there is room for potentially 30 bosses in the Elden Ring DLC, although this number is obviously optimistic and such content should not be expected all at once. . A theme Reddit

summarizes the rest of the probable content fairly well, namely:

New hair, six new (unnamed) weapon categories, and new AI targets for Elden Ring.
New map files related to Legacy Dungeons, new Coliseum map files suggesting the addition of a gauntlet type, map changes made to most Divine Towers.
16 NPC entries in files called “Someone Yet Unseen”.

Apparently nothing official has been announced by FromSoftware for Elden Ring at the moment and fans are eagerly awaiting a good reason to return to the game. It might be the right one this time, because in general, data mining gives good clues as to what’s to come.

What do you think of file mining? Is that a good thing for you or does it spoil the surprise?
