2024-02-21T13:57:48.088ZIf you’re wondering how FromSoftware has threaded the needle with Elden Ring, it appears the developerdoesn’t have many answers. Producer Yasuhiro Kitao has “no idea why it’s selling so well” but won’t let sales change how the team makes games. A good thing, we think.

2024-02-21T16:11:47.145ZThinking on theElden Ring DLC price, Austin reckons FromSoftware calling this one an expansion rather than a DLC is a good sign of just how big it will be.“One big question is whether this expansion will feature an all-new map – as there are clearly many new areas – or perhaps a different era of the Lands Between, with new content woven in via time travel shenanigans or some other lore nugget,” he says. “I’m also wondering if that $40 price matches the scope of the content one-to-one – that is to say, will Shadows of the Erdtree deliver 66% more Elden Ring? We can only hope.“If we’re forking out $39.99, I certainly hope so, too.

The Elden Ring Shadow of the Erdtree collector’s edition offering

Hidetaka Miyazaki is doing the media rounds to share more information on Elden Ring’s big DLC.Shadow of the Erdtree is introducing a whole new mapcalled the Land of Shadow, and you can expect it to be as big a Limgrave at the least.

“In terms of setting and themes, it technically occupies the same space as the Lands Between, the same universe. But due to something story related that we won’t reveal today, this has become physically disconnected, and you’ll travel to the Shadow of the Erdtree land as a separate place. So this Land of Shadow itself is a place the player will visit to walk in the steps of Miquella.”

2024-02-21T18:17:54.866Z(Image credit: FromSoftware)Put on your surprised face, because there’s a poison swamp in the Land of Shadow. Shadow of the Erdtree’s new map continues a famous FromSoftware tradition: director Hidetaka Miyazaki absolutely covering players in poison mud. Speaking withEurogamer, Miyazaki says he only recently realized that he really likes making poisoned swamps, so this DLC was actually a “little place of introspection and reflection for me” on that front. I, myself, can already see my reflection in the stagnant, mosquito-infested waters of FromSoftware’s latest swamp, and I hate it.

Well, for hardcore players out there, director Hidetaka Miyazaki saysShadow of the Erdtree contains optional bosses that are on the same level as Malenia, handily the most difficult boss fight in the base game.“We want to create a challenging experience that tests the players and that gives them a feeling of satisfaction and accomplishment when they get through these struggles,” Miyazaki said.

Well, no, but also maybe. “We don’t have any current plans to make a second DLC or a sequel, but we definitely don’t want to snuff out that possibility,“Miyazaki said of the IP’s future. “We think that there could well be something the future.”
