With solely a month left earlier than Elden Ring’s extremely anticipated Shadow of the Erdtree DLC drops, developer FromSoftware has gifted us with a brand-new trailer. As this would be the “first and final” DLC for the award-winning motion RPG that can undoubtedly add much more lore to an already-confusing pile, there’s understandably a whole lot of buzz surrounding this newest trailer. Test it out under, and skim on for extra.
This newest take a look at Shadow of the Erdtree is all in regards to the story—there’s no gameplay right here, however we’re getting somewhat extra background on the mysterious Miquella, demon boss Malenia’s twin brother. The trailer exhibits how Miquella’s makes an attempt to create a Haligtree to attempt to fight his sister’s Scarlet Rot, and his incapacity to age previous childhood, resulted in him going through Messmer the Impaler and the “tyranny of [his] flame.” We see large fires engulfing the Lands Between, our bodies littering steps as much as a fortress, and Messmer himself wielding a glowing purple flame.
The trailer is from the angle of one in every of Miquella’s loyal followers, who worship the Haligtree and its golden sap. “Will you stroll with us?” it asks on the very finish. I feel I shall, thanks.
Shadow of the Erdtree drops on June 21 (you may pre-order the enlargement for $40, or shell out $10 extra for a Deluxe Version that comes with an artwork guide and soundtrack), and it’ll usher within the age of Miquella. Director Hidetaka Miyazaki instructed IGN again in February that the DLC might be set in a model new space that’s solely separate from the Lands Between, which gamers will enter by way of a cocoon that they might have already encountered within the base recreation.
The newest trailer doesn’t supply us an excessive amount of extra when it comes to gameplay, however we do get know that Shadow of the Erdtree may have all new skills, magic, weapons, and enemies to face when it drops on June 21.
