the company said.

"Various measures are currently in progress for Elden Ring, including the development of major DLC, to maximise [lifetime value],"

[Soodanim]

Danjin44 I'm so sorry

 

[Gaiff]

It’s alright. Let those boys cook.

 

[Fake]

Let him cook.

 

[Lux R7]

It seems like it's gonna be huge

 

[FeralEcho]

They DO know its just an expansion right?

 

[MagnesD3]

This is a nothing thread, its the same stuff they said before. They could announce the date anytime lol. Odds are good we get a trailer this month.

 

[Saber]

I wouldn't worry. Refine the shit out of DLC, take your sweet time.

 

[Xtib81]

At this point, it's a sequel ^^

 

[worldwithpyramids]

None of this contradicts a release this month. Maximum cope.

 

[Bartski]

breaking no news

 

[Pancakes and Sausage]

I want this DLC as soon as possible and it seems to be taking forever but like others have said, let it cook.

Fall 2024 or spring 2025

 

[Ar¢tos]

I hope that it is bigger than Ringed City or Old Hunters, considering the time they are taking.
They must be also working on a new game at the same time.

 

[Zuzu]

This DLC will probably take 50-60 hrs to complete I reckon

 

[RoboFu]

They want to release a goty edition on switch 2 with the dlc release.

 

[SantaC]

Lol all the stupid rumors of this dlc being released soon.

 

[DavidGzz]

At this point it's so massive that it will be a full sequel by the time it releases. Elden Ring 2: Shadow of the Erdtree.

 

[Kurotri]

I'm not sure what to think about this, man. It's supposed to be a DLC yet it's been 2 years and it's stil nowhere close to release. On one hand I wanna say it's FromSoft, let them do their magic. On the other hand, if it's gonna take this long, why not do a sequel instead? I'd rather have that than a DLC if we are gonna wait years for it.

I had forgotten how pretty the art style of Elden Ring is. It almost sounds like there's more than just an add-on coming.

 

[The Infectious Paradox]

I wasn't the biggest fan of Elden ring compared to the souls series. But if there's on thing I know this DLC will be a banger

 

[Northeastmonk]

Day 1 whenever that day is.

 

[Thick Thighs Save Lives]

Danjin44 Looks like they fooled me good with those recent leaks and rumors. Sorry for getting your hopes up for a February release.

 

[stn]

I'm okay with this. I want them to take their time and deliver a beefy expansion with tons of stuff to do and lots of new armor options. A transmog option would also be great.

 

[killatopak]

Please... Miyazaki...

 

[Skifi28]

It's either going to be the best DLC this world has ever seen, or it's been stuck in development hell for whatever reason.

 

[digdug2]

I agree with many of you on here- it's gotta be either a huge expansion or a sequel at this point. From Soft knows that anything less would be a disappointment.

 

[gaming_again]

JFC my heart. Having Elden Ring at the top of the page with only a handful of replies is worse for my ticker than an ounce of cocaine.

 

[Ar¢tos]

At this point it's so massive that it will be a full sequel by the time it releases. Elden Ring 2: Shadow of the Erdtree.

Or the team working on it is so small that it will take ages to come out...

 

[WitchHunter]

The original was so fucked up, I abandoned playing it around halfways. Let's hope the DLC doesn't need a full playthrough.

 

[RyRy93]

Just turn it into a full blown game at this point

 

[tomato shrub]

Just turn it into a full blown game at this point

Yeah, not just Elden either. As games become more bloated and production time only increases, I'm all for standalone DLC and sequels built from the same assets.

 

[S0ULZB0URNE]

This is a few days old.

Sit back down, Tarnished: FromSoftware's parent company has poured cold water on an imminent Elden Ring DLC release

A recent Kadokawa financial report suggests that we've still got some time before Shadows of the Erdtree's release.

[RoadHazard]

Pretty crazy, the game is two years old.

 

[near]

I feel like they've only just scratched the surface with the depth of lore to explore in the Lands Between. I would rather they continue to expand the world and its secrets before they ever consider trying to create a sequel, which in my opinion isn't even befitting considering what they've already achieved with ER. I'm anticipating this DLC to be bigger than a standalone soulsborne game.

 

[Hohenheim]

I'm anticipating this DLC to be bigger than a standalone soulsborne game.

That's very optimistic, but I think its a safe bet that this will be their biggest dlc by far.

 

[near]

That's very optimistic, but I think its a safe bet that this will be their biggest dlc by far.

I think it's rational optimism. ER dwarfs every soulsborne release to date, and I think its DLC will scale in a similar ratio. A lot of the fundamentals to world building are in place, and the scope of the world map lends itself to multiple expansions, not just one. You don't hire George R. R. Martin to write a backstory and not attempt to milk it. This DLC and hopefully successive expansions will be substantial.

 

[Hudo]

Just go all-in on this and expand this to Elden Ring 2: Ring Harder.

 

[Skelterz]

I suspect around 15/20hrs of main content and around 20 or more side content for this DLC in the words of the Donald “It’s gunna be uuuge”

 

[Hrk69]

Pretty crazy, the game is two years old.

I don't see how that's relevant

 

[Gideon]

I was expecting a feb release but now maybe a march-april release.

 

[DeepEnigma]

It's going to be a BDLC.

 

[SantaC]

I was expecting a feb release but now maybe a march-april release.

it might not even be this year

 

[Danjin44]

Danjin44 Looks like they fooled me good with those recent leaks and rumors. Sorry for getting your hopes up for a February release.

I will remember this!

 

[Mortisfacio]

I'd rather they make it great than rush it. I was getting impatient with Phantom Liberty taking almost 3 years since Witcher 3 DLC both were released within a year of the base game, but it was well worth the wait. Hoping for the same with the Erd Tree DLC.

 

[Arachnid]

I agree with many of you on here- it's gotta be either a huge expansion or a sequel at this point. From Soft knows that anything less would be a disappointment.

This is what I'm expecting. If it comes out YEARS later and just ends up being a slightly longer than average Fromsoft style expansion, I'll enjoy it but be hugely disappointed. At that point, just start working on the next game instead.

I'm legit expecting the best expansion of all time with how long this is taking. CDPR put out both of Witcher 3s expacs in a year, they ended up being the best content in the game, and they took 40+ hours to beat combined.

 

[Danjin44]

I'm okay with this.

FROM why do you do this to me!?

 

[MScarpa]

Easy mode for us old fucks who suck at games and just want to enjoy ourselves?lol

 

[RoadHazard]

I don't see how that's relevant

DLCs usually don't come out 2-3 years after the game.

 

[DaciaJC]

I'm starting to feel concerned that this DLC will be almost too big by the time it releases lol.

 

[Mr Hyde]

Not really interested in an expansion anymore. Too much time has passed. Just turn it in to a sequel instead.
