We finally got a glimpse of the long-anticipated DLC for Elden Ring, Shadow of the Erdtree, as the trailer was released by From Software in February.
Players will be traveling to the Land of the Shadow, where they will finally meet a character that has long been speculated to be the centerpiece of the DLC, Miquella. The brother of the ultra-hard boss from the base game, Malenia, Miquella, was only briefly seen in Elden Ring as his arm hangs out of an egg in the background of the Mohg fight. The slumbering empyrean will most likely feature as a boss, but one can hope that he will be an ally in this strange new land.
The trailer — see it below! — features a host of new weapons and bosses to test your skills against, including the introduction of Messmer the Impaler. During my first watch of the trailer, I assumed this menacing character was Miquella, but if you wait to see the info for the Collector’s edition, it shows this character’s name. Who is Messmer, and why are they trying to stop the tarnished? Players will be able to find out on June 21st!
