FromSoftware finally presents the Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree DLC, and if the base content is anything to go by, the requirements for the new content are boss.
Shadow of the Erdtree is two years in the making and—based on our experience—is well worth the wait. Packed with new bosses, areas, and bigger and badder foes, Shadow of the Erdtree should usurp all expectations—but only if you meet the requirements to play.
Elden Ring was a mammoth proposition featuring a large-scale map littered with intertwining main areas and sub-areas. Shadow of the Erdtree isn’t quite as vast (which isn’t saying a lot), but its requirements might test you.
