One of the biggest games of 2022, ancient ringgets what appears to be its first major expansion: DLC content titled shadow of the erdtree.
Developer FromSoftware announced in a tweet this morning that the DLC was officially in development, though the company didn’t share when we might expect a release.
TO short blog post confirmed that the DLC will be coming to PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, and Steam. He also said that a “follow-up report is still a bit ahead” (Japanese translation via Google), so we can expect more details sooner rather than later.
ancient ring DLC is highly anticipated content for a number of reasons. ancient ring has been a huge success, selling over 20 million units worldwide, and FromSoftware is in the habit of releasing DLC for its titles. within a year after the initial release of a game.
We don’t have any details about what story or content shadow of the erdtree could address, just the name and single image above. But for a game with such an incredibly dense story, these alone are enough to fuel weeks of speculation.
Who, in the first place, rides Torrent? (The consensus seems to be Miquella, but some people suggest Marika.) And what’s going on with the Erdtree in the background? Is it rotting? Being consumed by another tree? Is it even the Erdtree, or maybe the Haligtree? Even if we don’t know when the DLC will arrive, at least lore YouTubers will be on it ASAP.
