Elden Ring and its DLC

Especially for hardcore games made by FromSoftware, the consensus of gamers admits that they deserve their own genre. With a difficult level of difficulty and a distinctive style, the developer has succeeded in creating its own standard.

It's only natural that this game was finally able to win the most prestigious and prestigious award in this industry! One of them is of course the Game of the Year (GotY) title in 2022.

It's not surprising that many other franchises with similar genres are competing to adopt the developer's distinctive style. However, the presence of Elden Ring as their masterpiece will be difficult to compete with!

Compared to other Soulsborne titles, Elden Ring really sets the bar so high. It would be difficult even for FromSoftware itself to produce a similar product.

So while racking my brain, there is no other way that can be taken other than releasing the expansion in the form of DLC. At least this can extend Elden Ring's quality of life (QoL) for the next few years.

Named Shadow of the Erdtree, this DLC comes with a theme that is closely related to the 'vanilla' (original non-DLC) version. So, can FromSoftware provide a proper expansion for this masterpiece?

DLC Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree

Without further ado, let's just discuss the DLC! Yep, Shadow of the Erdtree This is indeed a title that many people have been waiting for!

First announced in February 2023, news regarding the release of this DLC immediately shocked the gaming world. The reason is, the 'vanilla' version alone is able to "sedate" many gamers.

So automatically, the presence of the DLC raises high hopes for their fanbase! And when it was finally released on June 21, the spotlight of public attention immediately focused on the DLC.

As the name suggests, this Elden Ring DLC will focus on a dark and dark area called the 'Land of Shadow' which is behind the shadow of Erdtre: the large tree that shelters the Lands Between.

This area is completely separate from the aforementioned Elden Ring universe – offering an explorative area that is almost as large! This is certainly what the Soulsborne fanbase has been waiting for!
