The upcoming Elden Ring Shadow of the Erdtree expansion has been rated in the US by the ESRB, but its description might come across as familiar.
Elden Ring's first official expansion is launching later this year on June 21, and ahead of its release, the Entertainment Software Rating Board (ESRB) has rated the expansion as "Mature 17" with blood and gore as well as suggestive themes, language, and violence - similar to the main game.

That's not the only thing that's the same, however, as the description of Shadow of the Erdtree is the same as that of 2022's Elden Ring. Instead of providing additional details about the game and its scenes, it appears that someone has copy-pasted the ESRB description of Elden Ring for its expansion as well. We've included screenshots of both ratings below for the sake of completeness:
The release date for the Shadow of the Erdtree expansion was revealed back in February of this year alongside a trailer for the DLC. This trailer showed off new bosses as well as mysterious realms.

An Elden Ring bug has managed to turn the wishes of several fans into reality by allowing a player to fight Dragonlord Placidusax a second time. While FromSoftware games usually don't have a lot of bugs, the few that pop up in Elden Ring tend to be hilarious or interesting, with this find falling into both categories.
While Xbox Game Pass is set to gain a selection of fantastic Day-One releases in the back half of April, subscribers may want to act fast to play the six games leaving the service in the coming weeks. To offset the amount of titles the platform offers, Microsoft always removes a handful of games whenever it brings in a new selection for players to experience. While that might sound like a bad deal, it makes sense given the already massive catalog on offer and users can still pick up the departing games for a discount before they eventually leave.
Elden Ring: Shadow Of The Erdtree will release in June 2024, but even if you buy it day one, you might not be able to access the Elden Ring DLC expansion’s new overworld areas and dungeons right away. This is an add-on aimed squarely at those in the later stages of the game, as FromSoftware’s own Elden Lord Hidetaki Miyazaki has revealed in a new Famitsu interview – to gain access, you must first defeat two of the main game’s nastier bosses.

Some merchandise suggests that Ermac was originally meant to be a part of Mortal Kombat 1’s base roster instead of a post-launch DLC character. Originally created as a red-colored palette swap of famed ninjas Scorpion and Sub-Zero, Ermac has been a part of the Mortal Kombat mythos since Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3, and it won’t be long before Mortal Kombat 1 players will be able to take control of this powerful undead warrior. Ermac is set to be introduced as the latest MK 1 DLC character on April 16 for Early Access players and April 23 for everyone else.
A new piece of merchandise for Mortal Kombat 1 shows an early shot of the base roster that adds evidence to the theory that Ermac was supposed to be playable at launch.
Most players have likely been invaded by either Mad Tongue Alberich or Ensha of the Royal Remains, if not both, without totally understanding why. Alberich is a sorcerer who first appears on the lower level of 's Roundtable Hold. This fight is practically inexplicable at first, requiring players to leap off of the balcony where Rogier settles in at the hub area. Mad Tongue Alberich has no dialogue and only drops assorted multiplayer items, but some other hints throughout the game can help contextualize his place in 's lore.
A subtle detail opens a rabbit hole of violence, stretching back centuries into the Lands Between's past. As is usually the case with From Software games, 's lore is deliberately mysterious and obtuse. Rarely do characters offer comprehensive explanations directly to the player, and even when they do, they almost always do so with ulterior motives. For the most part, it's up to the player to piece together stories by looking closely at certain details. Recurring trends, out-of-place objects, and item flavor text can reveal a wealth of information about the world of.
Elden Ring players are defeating some of the game's largest and toughest bosses with a unique bubble build.
