Development on Elden Ring’s first expansion is “proceeding smoothly.”
That’s according toFromSoftware’s parent company, Kadokawa Corp, in its latestfinancial report. “The release timing of DLC forElden Ringhas not yet been announced,” the company says, “but development is proceeding smoothly.”
TheElden Ring DLC, titled Shadow of the Erdtree, has been quietly in production since its announcement this February, with nothing other than a piece of concept art to tide fans over until its eventual release. Only FromSoft could randomly drop an image of a bleak landscape and a blonde rider - and still generate anungodly amount of fan theories, including but not limited to: time travel, dream realms, and something to do with Demigod Miquella. The last DLC we were blessed with was the freeColiseum updatethat added PvP arenas and modes, but we’ll just need to wait for Shadow of the Ertree for more.
Elsewhere, the company reveals that Armored Core 6: Fires Of Rubicon sold over 700k copies in Japan as of September 30, meanwhile, global sales are “expected to grow in the second half of the year.” That global projection seems quite vague but the mech-slasher’shuge Steam launchbodes well for the series' future.
While we wait for more brutal boss battles, dip your toes into the best gameslike Elden Ring.
