Elden Ring Director Comments on Whether He Will Direct Future Souls Games

An Elden Ring streamer has suffered a gruesome and quite hilarious defeat, losing an eleven-hour randomized permadeath run to a rare Roundtable Hold invasion while in the bathroom. Two years after launch, developer FromSoftware has finally revealed the release date of Elden Ring's highly anticipated Shadow of the Erdtree DLC, set to launch on June 21.

An Elden Ring player believes that the Shadow of the Erdtree DLC might take place in the ominously empty middle part of the game's map. Elden Ring fans have been speculating about the upcoming DLC, and this theory has sparked many conversations among players, who offer different perspectives on the potential location and significance surrounding the Shadow of the Erdtree DLC.

Let Me Solo Her, the legendary Elden Ring player who has helped countless others to defeat the hardest boss in the game, might finally move on from his crusade upon the release of the Shadow of the Erdtree DLC. This much anticipated expansion, which is expected to introduce even more tough opponents, will drop in mid-2024.

may be Fromsoftware's most-played game, but that doesn't mean fans have managed to unearth all of its hidden treasures. While dedicated adventurers can take pride in their dedication to hunting down secrets, it would appear that some pots have yet to be upturned. Director Hidetaka Miyazaki confirmed as much, noting that while the majority of 's secrets have been found, there's at least one that's eluded the player base.

A new combat system in ’s DLC will likely change how players approach difficult challenges with bosses and mini-bosses in the additional content for the game. The long-awaited expansion was announced back in February 2023, a year after the base game’s original release. At the time, little information was provided other than the title itself and artwork featuring a blonde character mounted on a Spirit Steed, with an alternative version of the Erdtree far in the distance. Now, more information has been uncovered with the DLC’s gameplay reveal trailer.

Inspired by the Shadow of the Erdtree gameplay reveal trailer, a talented Elden Ring fan completes an impressive painting based on the setting of the new DLC expansion, the Land of Shadow. The Elden Ring painting depicts the Erdtree and the mythical shadow covering the new region that players will soon explore this June.

FromSoftware's frequent director Hidetaka Miyazaki has acknowledged his 'making poisonous swamps' addiction, and although the upcoming Elden Ring DLC was a moment of "introspection" for the developer, he's not stopping any time soon. 

Elden Ring and Dark Souls director Hidetaka Miyazaki has said that there’s “a high possibility,” that he would delegate the role of director on future Souls games.

Elden Ring director, Hidetaka Miyazaki, has defended FromSoftware's most divisive game, Dark Souls 2, and said that its ideas "carried the rest of the series".

Some new enemies in ’s DLC have been shown with the reveal of the expansion’s gameplay trailer. The long-awaited DLC for FromSoftware’s award-winning RPG was first announced in February 2023, approximately a year after the base game’s original release. At the time, the content was teased with key art featuring a blond character, believed to be Miquella, mounted on a Spirit Steed with the Erdtree far in the distance. Little to no details were known about the DLC until the DLC gameplay trailer reveal, which showcased a lot of the upcoming content.

Elden Ring launched almost two years ago, and since then, players have scoured The Lands Between for every single item or piece of lore they can get their hands on. After so much time, you'd have assumed that everything worth finding in Elden Ring had already been found, but director Hidetaka Miyazaki may have reignited the hunt after comments he made following the release of Shadow of the Erdtree's first trailer.

Elden Ring's director says both himself and FromSoftware at large don't feel pressured by other games in the 'Souls-like' genre.
