Elden Ring game has received critical acclaim for its gameplay, graphics, lore, and online features. It has also been praised for its high level of difficulty and challenge, which is a trademark of FromSoftware's games.

 

Since its release, the game has received one free update and one paid expansion. The free update, called Colosseum DLC, was released on December 7, 2022. It added new PvP modes and multiplayer options for players to engage in arena battles in the Colosseums of Limgrave, Leyndell, and Caelid. The update also included some balancing changes and bug fixes.

 

The paid expansion, called Shadow of the Erdtree, was announced on February 28, 2023. It is currently in development and has no official release date yet. This expansion is expected to be released sometime in late 2023 or early 2024.

While the base game of Elden Ring is set in a vast and interconnected open world, the possibility of future DLC expansions is certainly a topic of interest for players.

 

Here Are Some of the New Content:

The DLC will be roughly the size of two separate DLC packs, making it similar in scope to Bloodborne's The Old Hunters expansion.

 

The expansion is expected to add significant gameplay and narrative content to fill the gaps in the base game's lore.

 

The expansion will feature a new story arc or offer a new substantial questline to follow, which revolves around the mysterious figure seen in the concept art, who is speculated to be Miquella, one of the original gods who created the Elden Ring. He will play a paramount role in the DLC's story, potentially exploring a parallel world of dreams.

The expansion will also introduce new Elden Ring items & hairstyles, new areas, enemies, bosses, weapons, and secrets, which require resources or in-game currency to access or unlock, so you can gather more resources or Elden Ring runes now to get ready for the upcoming DLC.

 

New Bosses Leak

The expansion will introduce 30 new bosses. As many as 16 new/NPC or enemy characters referred to as "Someone Yet Unseen" have also been spotted by the committed data miner.

 

Elden Dreams

Elden Ring once contained items and missions that included investigating the fantasies of specific NPCs. While the substance was cut from the main game, it very well may be put something aside for DLC.

 

In the cut substance, an NPC called Monk Jiko requests that the Discolored bring him something many refer to as Dream Mist. To get it, the player needs to attack the NPC's fantasies. This offers heaps of imaginative potential outcomes and will permit players to battle strict bad dreams on top of the relative multitude of different detestations that hide in the Lands Between.

Extended Endings

The DLC of Bandai Namco's last two games with FromSoftware, Dark Souls, DS 2, and DS 3 included DLC, which drew out the closure of the base game. Notwithstanding, it did as such without going against or changing any consummation the player had previously opened.

 

This one basically offered the characters a method for getting away from the perishing scene by entering a painted world. It will be fascinating to perceive what the Elden Ring DLC means for the game's different endings or the world we investigate.

 

In conclusion, Elden Ring DLC will expand upon the base game and provide players with even more challenges and opportunities for exploration and immersion. Fans can look forward to official announcements from the developers in the future.
