With less than three weeks until the release of Shadow of the Erdtree, fans are clamoring for information on the expansion. The one and only DLC for FromSoftware’s award-winning action RPG Elden Ring is the big release of the summer, dropping on June 21. While we’ve had a couple of teases of the expansion’s new gameplay and story in the lead up to release, the DLC is still shrouded in mystery. Thankfully, a handful of previews just dropped to give us a peak behind the curtain.

With previews out, we now know more details of what will await us within the new mystery realm of the Land of Shadow. Previewers say that the DLC is a worthy follow-up to the base game in every way. Eurogamer’s Emma Kent writes that it, “brings further depth and grandeur to FromSoftware’s masterpiece.” Mechanically, new items and a new addition to the leveling system in the form of Scadutree Blessings sound like they will make Shadow of the Erdtree an equally complex and enjoyable challenge for even veteran players.

Some concrete details include the length of the DLC, which will be around 30-40 hours, and that there will be at least ten main bosses, as well as additional side bosses. Shadow of the Erdtree also includes around 100 new weapons, with some falling into eight new weapon types. The size of the DLC sounds massive, roughly equivalent to the base game’s Limgrave, Weeping Peninsula, and a part of Caelid combined. And as in past FromSoft DLCs, enemies here will be more dangerous and faster.
