This addition will take you to the unexplored Land of Shadow, filled with formidable bosses and new weapons and abilities. Known for its captivating content, FromSoftware promises an expansion that will enrich your experience in the game’s vast world.
Now is the time to return to the Lands Between
With June on the horizon, there’s no better time than now to revisit the base game. Steam Charts indicate a surge in players returning, all eager for the new content. To delve into Shadow of the Erdtree, you must progress a few hours into Elden Ring, defeating a demigod-class boss to gain access.
If it’s been a while since you’ve played Elden Ring or other FromSoftware titles, you might discover your skills need sharpening. The early challenges, especially those formidable foes like the Tree Sentinel and Margit, the Fell Omen, will test your abilities, urging you to refine your strategies and combat skills.
Discover the secrets and lore anew
Embarking on a new journey in Elden Ring isn’t just about brushing up on combat techniques. It’s an opportunity to immerse yourself deeper into the game’s layered lore and uncover secrets previously missed. You may find items and stories that eluded you in past playthroughs by exploring anew. Paying closer attention to the game’s narrative and characters this time prepares you for the enriched storyline in Shadow of the Eritrea.
The expansion is expected to introduce a unique levelling mechanism, which is hinted to be akin to the attack power system seen in Sekiro. This system aims to balance the playing field, ensuring the DLC is accessible and enjoyable, whether you’re exploring with a high-level character or a new one.
Gear up for your expedition to the Land of Shadow
