In a notable conversation with IGN Japan, FromSoftware's Hidetaka Miyazaki, the visionary behind Elden Ring, conveyed that while the upcoming June release of Shadow of the Erdtree signifies a substantial hiatus for the franchise, it doesn't necessarily signal its conclusion. Miyazaki emphasized that they're keeping the door open for future opportunities that might arise, stressing the potential for new and innovative ideas to take shape. He clarified that as of now, they are not conceptually working on any additional downloadable content (DLC) or contemplating a sequel to Elden Ring. Despite this, Miyazaki expressed his view that the forthcoming DLC, while marking a pause, is not wrapping up the Elden Ring saga.
Shadow of the Erdtree is shaping up to be an expansive adventure for fans of the game. According to FromSoftware, it's set to be their largest expansion ever, introducing an area surpassing the size of the base game's Limgrave region, alongside featuring over ten unique boss encounters. This substantial expansion promises to offer an extensive amount of content for players to explore.
Set for release on June 21, the expansion will be available across various platforms including PS5, Xbox Series X/S, PS4, Xbox One, and PC, and will be priced at $39.99. This points towards an exciting period for enthusiasts of Elden Ring, with the upcoming expansion serving as a substantial addition to an already highly-regarded title.
