FromSoftware’s award-winning RPG Elden Ring confirmed off its upcoming and long-awaited Shadow Of The Erdtree DLC at this time with a bombastic trailer that gave us an concept of what to anticipate when it drops later this yr. Prepare, Tarnished, as a result of issues are going to get wild.
The trailer begins with a shot of Miquella, the brother of Malenia, a god who encased himself in a cocoon to be able to develop alongside the Haligtree (which Miquella created in an try to save lots of his sister from the Scarlet Rot illness). “Pure and radiant, he wields like to shrive clear the hearts of males,” a voiceover says as we see Miquella’s arm hanging out of a crack within the cocoon. “There may be nothing extra terrifying.” The trailer then proceeds to indicate us plenty of different, very terrifying issues.

We see the Erdtree, the massive, golden tree that lies on the heart of Elden Ring’s The Lands Between. However this Erdtree seems to be lined, shrouded, as if that is one other land—and so it’s, the “Land of Shadow” in line with the official Elden Ring X account. This shadowland is a intelligent little plot gadget that may possible enable gamers to discover completely different areas in The Lands Between and combat new foes with out compromising the story from the principle recreation.
“In that forsaken place, blood should spill,” the voiceover continues. “Blood of your fellows, the Erdtree Devoted.” Right here we see photographs of recent foes, what seems to be new armor, and new areas. An enormous boss, manufactured from twisted metallic and glowing hearth with an enormous solar for a face, looms over the participant. “They had been by no means saints, they only occurred to be on the dropping facet of a struggle.”
Elden Ring’s base recreation facilities on you, the Tarnished, trying to defeat the demigod kids of Marika, who shattered the Elden Ring (which maintained order within the Lands Between) and scattered its items in all places, sending the land into disarray. The Erdtree, that huge, golden tree that’s now lined in shadow, was the bodily manifestation of that Ring, and its loyal followers are possible the “Erdtree Devoted” talked about within the trailer.
Based mostly on the trailer, it seems that the “huge dangerous” of this DLC is Messmer the Impaler, the red-haired, red-outfitted man with a snake curled round him who refers to somebody as “mom” within the trailer. He then calls you “bereft of sunshine,” so he’s clearly not a fan of you, Tarnished. The DLC trailer additionally contains some new preventing methods, like some hand-to-hand fight, what appears to be a brand new crossbow, and an enormous, flaming ball that’s hucked at a gaggle of enemies. New methods to kill, new methods to die, it’s very on-brand for Elden Ring.
“Come now, contact the withered arm and journey to the realm of shadow,” Melina, the deuteragonist of Elden Ring’s base recreation, says within the trailer. “I cannot be far behind. Could we meet once more.”
I don’t find out about you, however I’m so hyped. Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree DLC drops June 21 of this yr. You possibly can pre-order it now, however the link shared by the official Elden Ring account seems to be damaged for the time being. We in all probability broke it.
