After years of rumors and questions over what it would contain, we finally got to see what the Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree DLC will entail. The three-minute-long trailer showed off a mix of gameplay and cutscene content, but of course, most of it spawned even more questions. Elden Ringās lore is notoriously dense, and the vague dialogue in the gameplay trailer doesnāt help make anything more clear.
But donāt worry, Iām here to wade through the imagery, voice lines, and established lore to help you understand more of what the Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree trailer tells us about the DLC. As game director Hidetaka Miyazaki told IGN, the DLC ātechnically occupies the same space as the Lands Between, the same universe. But due to something story related that we wonāt reveal today, this has become physically disconnected, and youāll travel to the Shadow of the Erdtree land.ā
Some people believe that the upcoming DLC will take place in a time period before the events of EldenĀ Ringās base game, which could explain some of the imagery seen in the trailer.
Arise now, ye Tarnished. Letās get into it. Check out the trailer below, and click through for all the details we spotted.
