Elden Ring is one of the most anticipated games of 2023, and for good reason. The game is a collaboration between FromSoftware, the creators of Dark Souls and Sekiro, and George R.R. Martin, the author of A Song of Ice and Fire. Elden Ring combines the challenging combat and rich lore of FromSoftware’s games with an open-world setting inspired by Martin’s fantasy world.
The game was released on February 25th, 2023 and received critical acclaim from both fans and critics. The game offers a vast and varied world to explore, filled with secrets, enemies, bosses, NPCs, quests, items, weapons, magic, skills, and more. The game also features online multiplayer modes that allow players to cooperate or compete with each other.
But even with such a huge amount of content available at launch, many players are already eager for more. Fortunately, Elden Ring has some DLC plans in store for its fans. Here is everything we know so far about Elden Ring DLC.
Free Colosseum Update
The first major DLC update for Elden Ring was the free Colosseum update, released on December 7th, 2022, which allows players to battle each other within the grand arenas spread across the Lands Between. The Colosseum update introduces new PvP modes such as Team Deathmatch, Capture the Flag, King of the Hill, and more. The update also adds six-player multiplayer support for both PvP and co-op modes.
The Colosseum update also adds new rewards for participating in PvP battles such as new weapons, armor sets, rings, emotes, titles, and more. The update also includes some balance changes and bug fixes for the base game.
Shadow of the Erdtree DLC
The next big DLC expansion for Elden Ring is the Shadow of the Erdtree DLC. This DLC was announced on March 2nd 2023 but without a release date. The only information we have so far about this DLC is its title and a piece of concept art.
The concept art shows a mysterious woman wearing a mask. She is holding a sword that resembles one of the Great Runes that are central to Elden Ring’s story . She also has some kind of glowing mark on her chest . Some fans have speculated that this woman is Miquella, one of the characters mentioned in Elden Ring’s lore.
Miquella was one of Melina’s daughters who rebelled against her mother’s rule over Queen’s Gardens. She allied herself with Marika’s forces during Marika’s uprising against Melina. However, she was betrayed by Marika who stole her Great Rune and left her to die in Queen’s Gardens. Miquella survived but became corrupted by Melina’s influence over Queen’s Gardens.
Miquella is one of the few characters who has not been seen or encountered in Elden Ring so far. She may have a key role in Shadow of the Erdtree DLC as she may seek revenge against Marika or try to reclaim her Great Rune. She may also have some connection to Erdtree itself as she shares its name.
Shadow of the Erdtree DLC may explore Miquella’s story as well as expand on other aspects of Elden Ring’s lore such as Erdtree itself which is said to be dying due to Melina’s actions. It may also introduce new areas, enemies, bosses, NPCs, quests, items, weapons, magic, skills, and more.
Conclusion
Elden Ring DLC promises to add more content and depth to an already amazing game. Fans can look forward to engaging in new PvP modes with their friends or foes in the Colosseum update or uncovering new secrets and mysteries in Shadow of the Erdtree DLC. We will keep you updated on any news or announcements regarding Elden Ring DLC so stay tuned!
