After the long-awaited announcement of the Elden Ring DLC, everyone already wants to know what happens next. What to expect? The studio comments on this topic.
After months of endless rumors and other rumors of all kinds, we have learned that the Elden Ring DLC, called Shadow of the World Tree, will be released on June 21st. We even managed to have a nice trailer to tease things a bit and build up the pressure in the fans’ hearts. Aware of the wait, the studio took the opportunity to talk about the rest of the adventure.
Elden Ring 2 or even a DLC?
In a recent statement that fuels the hopes and speculations of fans, Hidetaka Miyazaki, the famous director of From Software, opened the door to the possibility of a sequel to Elden Ring or a second expansion for this game that has already achieved phenomenal success. According to Bandai Namco, the game’s publisher, Elden Ring has achieved 23 million sales since its release in February 2022.
Miyazaki, whose reputation was firmly established through titles like Dark Souls and Bloodborne, was open to the idea of further exploring the Elden Ring universe beyond this expansion. When asked by IGN about the narrative future after the first expansion, he emphasized that he didn’t want to see this DLC as the end of the Elden Ring saga. This statement is reminiscent of the statement at the end of Dark Souls 3, where Miyazaki had already expressed his reluctance to finally conclude the series.
An open door
While no concrete plans for a second DLC or sequel have been announced, Miyazaki has made it clear that the door remains open for future developments. “ We definitely don’t want to avoid this possibility. ” he said. Generates excitement among fans that the Elden Ring universe could continue to grow.
The first expansion, Shadow of the World Tree, promises a new story, a new world to explore and deep RPG features. Interested players must own the base game to access this expansion. This can be pre-ordered from just 39.99 dollars.
