The highly anticipated expansion for Elden Ring, titled Shadow of the Erdtree, has just released a new trailer that has fans buzzing with excitement. However, as with the original game, it seems that the expansion will also leave players with more questions than answers.
FromSoftware is known for their incredible boss battles, stunning artwork, and intricate level design, but one thing they are not known for is transparent storytelling. Before the days of wikis and YouTube explanations, it was a challenge to understand the plot of Elden Ring, and it seems that the same will hold true for the DLC.
The trailer for Shadow of the Erdtree confirms that the expansion will focus on Malenia's brother, Miquella, who only made a brief appearance in the main game. But, other than that, there is little explanation given. In fact, the dialogue in the trailer is almost drowned out by the intense music, making it difficult to understand what is being said. It's best to watch the trailer with subtitles on to get a clearer understanding.
From what can be gathered, it seems that the expansion will take place in the past, with themes of seduction and betrayal. Miquella, who is of Golden lineage and part of the Golden Order, is trying to rid themselves of their physical form, while a new character named Messmer appears to be the villain. As with most FromSoftware games, the lines between good and evil are blurred, but it is clear that Miquella will be the player's guide while Messmer hunts Tarnished.
Despite the lack of concrete information, we do know that the DLC will take place in a new world called the Land of Shadow. It is possible that parts of the expansion will be played in the past, but this is just speculation until players can dive into the game and read the item descriptions for more background lore.
One thing that is certain is that Shadow of the Erdtree will be a challenging experience, just like its predecessor. So, buckle up and prepare for a wild ride when the DLC releases on June 21. And as always, stay tuned for more updates on Elden Ring and other exciting gaming news.
