Bandai Namco and FromSoftware are teasing the expansionElden Ring to be released June 21. They promise that formidable enemies await us in the new land. Always with a horrific design.
In a month, we will be able to return to the Entre-Earth thanks to the DLC ofElden Ring, titled Shadow of the Erdtree. This expansion, which will be unique, will send players to the Realm of Shadows (accessible under certain conditions). And you will obviously have to be ready, according to the latest teaser from Bandai Namco and FromSoftware, shared on May 17 on Twitter.
“ Fearsome threats of unfathomable power await you in the Realm of Shadows », We can read in the very short press release. It comes with an image showing a pretty scary enemy. For the publisher and the Japanese studio, it is a way of preparing ourselves for a challenge that promises to be immense. Traditionally, FromSoftware game DLCs are difficult.
In Elden Ring, horror has many faces
Incidentally, this teaser reminds us to what extent FromSoftware has an innate talent when it comes to creating monstrous creatures. The enemy shown is certain proof of this: a character with a sculpted back and gray skin, wearing a cracked golden mask, sporting multiple horns scattered in silver hair (a strand of which passes through one of the holes for the eyes, attention to detail). His weapons are disc-shaped blades, which he must undoubtedly whirl with great aggression.
Who is this enemy? Everything suggests that it will be a boss. The fact that he wears a golden mask — a recurring element in the lore ofElden Ring — agrees with this. But we are never really sure of anything with FromSoftware, which rarely evokes the incredible universe of the game, imagined in part with George RR Martin, in a direct way. Everything is always a bit cryptic and that’s part of the charm.
On May 13, already, the Twitter account ofElden Ring came to life with a capture showing a monster whose head resembles an immense lantern. The teaser was as follows: “ The abandoned and the tragic who search in the shadows pray for the embrace of a new master. » In short, Shadow of the Erdtree promises to be nightmarish, with developers who have gone very far in horror. Those who ventured into the DLC of Bloodborne probably still remember it.
