Hidetaka Miyazaki recalls that eight new categories of weapons will be added with Shadow of the Erdtreeenough to vary the builds more experienced players or try new strategies with bosses from the main content. Concerning the lifespan, the game designer does not want to say too muchrecalling that he had affirmed thatElden Ring ended in about 30 hours. In reality, you have to count twice as much, the developers from FromSoftware know their games too well to have a real estimate. Furthermore, players will be able to choose to play the base game and the DLC in the order of their choice, provided they have beaten the required bosses beforehand of course.
Shadow of the Erdtree will give a lot of work to fans who have fun dissecting the lore ofElden Ring, the extension should answer many questions left unanswered, but Hidetaka Miyazaki states that “part of the story will have to be completed by the players themselves.” New NPCs will be introduced in the DLCbut characters from the base game will not make an appearance here, the idea being that if an NPC dies in Elden Ringit does not block the extension. The story should revolve around Miquella And Saint Trinatwo still very enigmatic characters. The Japanese designer also indicates that Shadow of the Erdtree will not really have an end, a clear conclusion, but choices will have to be made.
Something to note, Hidetaka Miyazaki announces that Shadow of the Erdtree will be “the first and last DLC” for Elden Ringthere will be no additional content to come afterwards, but the game director does not close the door to a sequel. After all, the base game has 23 million sales, it would be a shame to FromSoftware and the editor Bandai Namco not to capitalize on this success, but Hidetaka Miyazaki had already made similar comments after Dark Souls III. Designer finally admits to playing games Souls-like with pleasure, even if he recalls never having defined what the genre really was. Titles inspired by his creations which inspire him in returnwith the aim of “giving players a better gaming experience”.
