Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree Launches June 21st, First Gameplay Revealed

Reflector Entertainment debuted a new trailer for Unknown 9: Awakening, its mysterious action-adventure announced in 2020. Not only is it coming to Xbox One and Xbox Series X/S, but it’s launching this Summer. Check out the first gameplay below.

The Alters was first revealed back in June 2022, and now during the Xbox Partner Preview the first gameplay trailer has been shown by 11 bit studios. It shows the planet Jan has crashed on and the large mobile base that will be home. It also shows the scorching sun that would destroy that base if it doesn’t keep moving. Jan cannot keep the base moving alone, but luckily discovers an element called Rapidium, which can clone him.

Elden Ring has a set of chest armour called the Depraved Perfumer Robe which is embroidered with a writhing red snake that wraps around itself. It was long assumed that this was a reference to Rykard, Lord of Blasphemy, the god-devouring serpent found at Volcano Manor. However, in light of Shadow of the Erdtree's first trailer, fans think the armour might have been teasing Messmer this entire time.

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.

We know a few key details about Shadow of the Erdtree's setting - it's around the size of Limgrave, is separate from the existing map, and is accessed via Miquella's cocoon in Mohg's boss arena. But as for where it tangibly exists... that's still a mystery. However, Elden Ring sleuths are hard on the case and think they've cracked it.

Just nine days ago, Italian independent developer Jyamma Games revealed that its debut project, Enotria: The Last Song, would launch on June 21.

The parent company of Elden Ring developer FromSoftware is releasing a novel based on the beloved fantasy role-playing game, but its subject isn't necessarily what you'd expect.

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.

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.

FromSoftware is changing its approach to level design with Elden Ring's Shadow of the Erdtree DLC.

2022's Game of the Year, Elden Ring, has surpassed yet another impressive milestone of 23 million copies sold. This comes just one day after the full reveal trailer of Elden Ring's hotly anticipated Shadow of the Erdtree DLC, which already sits at over six million views on Bandai Namco's YouTube channel. The thrilling trailer showcases parts of the new Land of Shadow area, as well as some of the fearsome new bosses players will face off against, causing a swell of excitement and hype among fans online.

If Elden Ring and Dark Souls director Hidetaka Miyzaki had to put a name to the genre of games FromSoftware has become synonymous with over the past decade-plus years, it’d be “Souls-ish.” But even then, he would much prefer to call them “those dark fantasy third-person action games with a higher focus on melee combat and sense of accomplishment.” That’s not quite as catchy as ‘Soulslike’, but it does capture the renowned creator’s specificity. And we got even more of that specificity in our recent interview with Miyazaki ahead of the premiere of the long-awaited trailer for the first Elden Ring DLC, Shadow of the Erdtree.
