Elden Ring's upcoming DLC expansion, Shadow of the Erdtree, promises an exciting addition to the game's already vast world. FromSoftware, known for its expansive game worlds, has hinted at the scale of this new adventure.
Before the DLC's announcement, fans were kept engaged with multiple free updates that added new content. However, it was only on the game's one-year anniversary that Shadow of the Erdtree was officially revealed, marking the start of eager anticipation among players.
Now, on the game's two-year anniversary, fans have been treated to the first trailer for the DLC. The trailer unveils the Land of Shadow, a brand-new area filled with terrifying creatures. This new land will be accessible through the cocoon in Mohgwyn's Palace, according to Elden Ring director Hidetaka Miyazaki in an interview with IGN.
Miyazaki mentioned that the Land of Shadow will be comparable in size to Limgrave, a significant area in the base game. "It's hard to answer without giving away too much and to a high degree of accuracy, but if you think in terms of scale or size, it's probably comparable, if not larger, than the area of Limgrave from the base game," Miyazaki said.
The news of this expansive new area has sparked excitement among fans, who are eager to explore the Land of Shadow and uncover its secrets.
"It can be challenging to provide an exact answer without revealing too much. However, if we consider the scale or size, it's likely similar, if not larger, than Limgrave from the base game."

If you haven't visited Limgrave in Elden Ring recently, let's take a moment to remember this starting area. Despite being the initial land you encounter in the game, Limgrave is as perilous as any other part of this open-world action RPG. Right from the start, players encounter the formidable Tree Sentinel. As they journey through this vast world, they'll also come across Stormveil Castle.
