Elden Ring recently unveiled its famous DLC, which will be released in June 2024, called Shadow of the World Tree. The good news is that you can mod the game as much as you want.
The news from FromSoftware is very busy, since Elden Ring recently unveiled its famous DLC, which will be released in June 2024. Named “The Shadow of the World Tree”, its ambitions are monstrous. For example, we are talking about a gigantic map larger than that of the Limgrave region, the main area of Elden Ring. More than dozens of new bosses will also be integrated into the title, as well as eight new categories of weapons to overcome them. Scenario-wise, the story seems to focus on Miquella, Malenia’s brother. As if that wasn’t enough, the difficulty will be raised again. We will have to show ingenuity to meet the challenges. And once you’ve had a look, don’t throw away your PC game and take a look at the mods.
Elden Ring is a huge sandbox and will continue to be!
Good news for fans of mods of all kinds, you have carte blanche and it must last! Director Hidetaka Miyazaki allows you to create as many mods as you want and he loves it! The man spoke about this during an interview with Eurogamer and clarified that he likes to see them. “It’s something we shouldn’t try to discourage, whether it’s speedruns, challenge games or playing with a banana. “It’s something that should be appreciated and it’s just great to see this kind of community interaction.”, he says in the interview. Mass has been said. The father of Elden Ring likes to see his community develop and come up with mods all the time when certain players are not trying to beat records, each one harder and crazier than the next. An excellent thing that turns Elden Ring into a real sandbox. The good news is that it’s not going to stop any time soon. On the contrary, it is downright encouraged!
A mess of mods and it’s not over yet!
“The term Souslike is, as you surely understand“ent, very vague, and there are many ways to interpret and I don’t think any of them are wrong,” continues the director, who describes himself as “constantly surprised” by what the community offers. With the excitement caused by Elden Ring, it has been difficult to miss the different mods. Some of them simply allow you to play in a more entertaining way, simplifying the experience or, on the contrary, making it even more difficult.
Others, on the other hand, modify the story, such as the Reborn mod, which adds new bosses, new areas and considerably enriches the narrative. Again, there is no problem with that. “In terms of story, I like to leave things to the player’s imagination. Again, it’s kind of a blank canvas in that regard. Personally, I enjoy the opportunities to fill this canvas with knowledge”, Miyazaki tells us. Elden Ring is therefore made to be experienced as you wish. There is no wrong way to play. Mods are fertile ground for all kinds of experiments, like what we can find on many very “free” games like Fallout or even Skyrim, two big examples. Conversely, some companies don’t really appreciate having their properties played with. Even if some mods or are real love letters.
And you mods, are they your hobby?
