Shadow of the Erdtree, Miyazaki told Campfire Camp, is “the first and last DLC, and we have no plans to add more content to Elden Ring”. He continued: “Elden Ring emphasizes exploration and adventure in a big world. In order to provide such an experience, a vast and huge setting is inevitably needed.” Instead of taking a similar approach to say,Dark Souls 2then, where a single theme tied together multiple expansions, From have opted for a single massive content drop. “If they were sold separately, the freedom of exploration and sense of adventure would be reduced,” says Miyazaki.

It’s a slight bummer to know that that’ll be it for such a special game when the expansion does release on June 21st this year, but I don’t think I’m alone in saying that a certain level of integrity in recognising when a story is finished is something particularly admirable about From’s approach to design. Also, it’s not as if Elden Ring is light on stuff to do anyway. If I wasn’t a feckless freelancer at the time, I’d probably still be playing it. Although all that free time did allow me to discoverthe joy ofrunning around the Lands Between naked like a treasure goblin.
