Elden Ring: what will the hypothetical DLCs be about?
– Reviews News
By analyzing the lore, Eurogamer got an idea of the possible Elden Ring DLCs.
The extraordinary success of Ring of Eldenwhich shattered sales projections by surpassing 10 million copies sold in the space of two weeks (originally 4 million were expected) shows no signs of slowing its run, and many users have begun to wonder if FromSoftware and Bandai Namco they intend to make downloadable contentwhat they have already done for most video games “soulborne”.
Dark Souls had Artorias of the Abyss, which was mostly cut content, while subsequent chapters in the saga received substantial content injections. Bloodborne also quickly got The Old Hunters, an expansion aimed at lifting the curtain on many elements of the lore.
Precisely for this reason, when analyzing the lore of Elden Ring, our Lorenzo Mancosu touched on some of the dark points of the title that would make us think of Hidetaka Miyazaki's desire to fill the narrative element through content that raises the curtain on past events. of the Interregnum, just as happened through the aforementioned Artorias of the Abyss and The Old Hunters.
According to what was said in the lore analysis, which you can read in full by clicking on this link, “It would be extremely important to be able to shed light on certain moments from the past of the interregnum, to give an answer to the few questions – and an aspect to the few characters – that were posed to us without being offered an unequivocal answer and a coherent answer. »
Specifically, speculation regarding DLCs and additional content relates to:
- The character of Miquela From "the arena containing its cocoon is very similar to the 'door' of additional content without interactions, and above all the story of the empyrean is not over, being still alive although in stasis".
- Scarlet Rot and the Blind Swordsmana legend mentioned in the descriptions of various weapons and numerous talismans "which links the mysterious swordsman, the external deity of Scarlet Rots and the character of Malenia, without further explanation".
- The Night of the Black Knives, “the most nebulous plot segment in all of Elden Ring that begs for more explanation, particularly regarding Marika's role and especially the reasons for Godwyn's murder. »
- The Twilight-Eyed Queen and the Fateful Deathtexture elements "which are often quoted, to the point of making it almost obvious that this character coincides with Melina, but for which not enough context is provided to support any theory that does not concern Melina's identity"
We remind you that if you want to read the complete explanation of the plot and the lore guide, you can consult the dedicated page, where all the facts and theories about the Interregnum are collected.
