Fans of the game Elden Ring will be ecstatic to hear that the game announced this morning through their official twitter account that they are working on a new expansion game, Shadow of the Erdtree! They released limited information with the announcement, only letting fans know that the game is in the works with a single visual for the game.
Check out the announcement tweet below!
The announcement came right before Elden Ring will be celebrating its one year anniversary!
Elden Ring is an open-world action role-playing game in which you traverse The Lands Between on a journey to repair the titular Elden Ring and become the new Elden Lord. Gameplay is in the same vein as that of FromSoftware's other hit franchise, Dark Souls, but expands on these mechanics by giving players unprecedented freedom to explore the game world as they best see fit. Like Dark Souls, Elden Ring also challenges players with difficult boss fights.
Elden Ring was a massive success, both critically and commercially. In addition to its 20 million copies sold, it also was Game of the Year at the 2022 Game Awards, beating out the likes of God of War Ragnarok, Horizon Forbidden West, Stray, Xenoblade Chronicles, and A Plague Tale: Requiem.
Details for Shadow of the Erdtree will likely be shared in the coming months, but it has already been confirmed that the expansion will be available on all the same platforms as Elden Ring. This means last-gen players on Xbox One and PS4 will still be able to enjoy the new content alongside those who are playing on Xbox Series X|S and PS5.
We will be sure to update you with more information as new announcements for Shadow of the Erdtree are released!
