A mod consisting of assets from various modders wants to sweeten the waiting time for Shadow of the Erdtree.
Hardly anyone at Elden Ring complained about a lack of scope. The world is huge and the masterpiece by From Software is also deeply playful. And yet: The wait for the recently announced DLC Shadow of the Erdtree is dragging on. So far, there is not even a release date in sight.
But consolation awaits: A mod wants to offer what fans are still waiting for a year after the release of Elden Ring. The title Unofficial Expansion
the mod released on Nexusmods already hints at what to expect – an in-depth, fan-made expansion. This is the description of the mod:
The throne has been seized, but not all nobles accept you as the new ruler of the Between Lands. Prepare and sit down Rannis Arms long-forgotten weapons, wield your legitimate powers while the people call your name.

A complete overview of all contents of the Unofficial Expansion
Even if Singleplayer is the sole author of the actual mod, not all content is his own, dozens of creations were made by other creators.
And in a way the mod is kind of Best-of-From-Software
. Because there are assets from the three-part Dark Souls series to date or the previously PlayStation-exclusive Bloodborne that expand the world of Elden Ring.
The DLC Shadow of the Erdtree is intended to enrich Elden Ring in many respects, but when it is still unclear.
Die Unofficial Expansion
started as a private modding project for Elden Ring fans and is far from finished: It is planned to refine the work with further updates in the future and to saddle it with larger addons.

Caution during installation: Due to various factors, the installation of the mod is relatively complicated. However, the modder delivers extensive instructions on the mod pagethat you should really follow. If not, there is a risk that the mod will not work at all or that you will be missing content. Because, among other things, you have to download some models separately, since the modder has not received any approval for their repack in his mod.
