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.
Official Elden Ring Book Tells the Story of Two Co-Workers Who Become Friends Through the Game
26.02.2024 - 16:20 / ign.com / Ryan Dinsdale
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.
As reported by Siliconera, Kadokawa Corporation is releasing See You At That Grace After Work in Japan, a novel telling the story of two co-workers who get to know each other by playing Elden Ring. The title references the Sites of Grace locations throughout Elden Ring's world of The Lands Between.
The novel follows a Japanese office worker and gamer who enjoys Elden Ring but has only played solo. After spending his workbreaks looking at guide websites, a senior colleague notices and, as a fan of Elden Ring themselves, speaks to the worker about it. The two interact more and more both at work and online as they play Elden Ring together.
The novel arrives on March 29, 2024 in Japanese only, with no word on an international release. Keiichi Hikami, the author of several Monster Hunter novels, is writing this one too.
It's not the first time a somewhat bizarre book on Elden Ring has been released, as Kadokawa previously released a manga. Instead of being a dark and dramatic fantastical story, however, as is told in the game, it followed a naked Tarnished called Asea as a comedy.
While it's been more than two years since Elden Ring launched and a wave of wild and wacky content and creations around the game emerged, a similar situation may unfold soon as FromSoftware has announced a June 21 release date for its expansion, Shadow of the Erdtree.
Elden Ring proved somewhat of a cultural phenomenon upon its launch, with players finding a ton of different ways to interact with the game. Fans played it using a Fisher Price toy, the Nintendo Switch Ring Fit controller, and someone even made a working VR version of the game.
In our 10/10 review, IGN said: "Elden Ring is a massive iteration on what FromSoftware began with the Souls series, bringing its relentlessly challenging combat to an incredible open world that gives us the freedom to choose our own path."
