Elden Ring Sales Swell to an Incredible 23 Million

An Elden Ring fan on Reddit has pointed out a potentially revealing aspect of Messmer's design, inviting a new storm of speculation about the mysterious character's role in the greater lore of the game. This observation can be viewed as part of a general desire to know more about Messmer as, while strikingly designed and clearly important to the overall narrative of Shadow of the Erdtree, he is mostly shrouded in mystery, never even being mentioned in the base game.

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.

Rejoice, Elden Ring fans, as the Shadow of the Erdtree expansion now has a nailed-down release date of June 21. What's better than that? Well, a discount on DLC of course. It's currently priced at $39.99 MSRP, sparking speculation that this could truly be a massive offering for fans. But, if you're on PC, we highly recommend picking up Shadow of the Erdtree from Green Man Gaming, a trusted online PC code merchant who currently has the DLC listed for $35.19 instead (see here) / £30.79 in the UK.

Tekken 8 has sold over two million copies in the first month after launch, publisher Bandai Namco has announced.

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.

Think you know everything there is to know about Elden Ring? Think again, Tarnished – according to director Hidetaka Miyazaki, there's still «a small element» yet to be discovered.

Renowned Elden Ring director Hidetaka Miyazaki recently spoke about the future of the Dark Souls franchise, suggesting he is open to «delegating» the directorial position to others. Since the debut of Demon's Souls in 2009, the Souls franchise has grown into one of the most recognizable brands within gaming, defining a genre that became known as "Souls-like" games. The franchise has made developer FromSoftware into a household name, recently winning Game of the Year in 2022 for the highly-anticipated Elden Ring. Now, Miyazaki could be looking to take a step back from the franchise.

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.

From Software president Hidetaka Miyazaki has acknowledged that members of the Dark Souls studio had misgivings about Elden Ring's shift to a full-blown open world format, while qualifying that Elden Ring's vision for an open world was never "traditional". Rather, Elden Ring is an "open world" game in the same way that Dark Souls is a "hard" game, Miyazaki feels. Confused? Well, this is the godfather of the notoriously unforthcoming Souls series we're talking about. I've never interviewed the guy, but I suspect he composes his responses using the game's soapstone messaging system.

Elden Ring, the acclaimed fantasy RPG from FromSoftware, has sold over 23 million copies since its release in 2022, Bandai Namco has confirmed.

Exactly a year ago, Bandai Namco had announced that Elden Ring had sold 20 million copies worldwide.
