Elden Ring was a hit game for FromSoftware, and the DLC is likely going to heighten this fame further.

Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree Expansion Preview Has Mesmerized Fans With Its Graphics and Characterization
The graphics in Elden Ring were top-notch. The developers did a fabulous job designing the world of the base game. However, the most attractive part of the base game was the boss fights. The recent three-hour journey has proved that FromSoftware’s president, Hidetaka Miyazaki, is still on top of his form in designing in-game worlds and characters.
The DLC has been taking players to a different world named The Land of Shadow. The latest glimpse of the demo gameplay shows the quality of the visuals in the new world, where it seems to have a never-ending twilight. The entire world is covered with a light layer, giving the world a soothing look.
Fans’ hype levels have increased after watching the video. One of them commented that they can’t look away from the video.
Some players got awestruck after seeing glimpses of the gameplay and express their feelings by saying, “OMGGGGGGGG.”
Others are excited for the PVP and the weapons the DLC is going to introduce.
Well, the weapons are indeed something to get curious about in Elden Ring’s upcoming DLC. Again, Miyazaki proved his level of creativity in designing the weapons for this new world.
Shadow of the Erdtree Seems to Maintain the Tradition of Elden Ring in Introducing Unique Weapons and Fighting Types
Spells and weapons were integral parts of Elden Ring, and the game has uncountable weapons to find and use throughout the game. Those weapons not only looked unique but also had distinct abilities to deal with powerful bosses. As the recent videos reveal, Shadow of the Erdtree is maintaining the same tradition.
The DLC has a long list of weapons with attractive appearances and abilities. From Reverse Sword, Thrust Sword, Ryumon Spear, and Ryumon Axe, the expansion has spread further into introducing new weapon types like Perfume Bottle, Beast Claw, etc.
Among them, the most interesting was ‘Fighting.’ Shadow of the Erdtree is going to introduce this fighting type. This is not a class, but a fighting type that allows players to fight like a monk. It’s different from melee fights using fists. This sounds exciting, right? In the DLC, the Fallen Leaf Fighting weapon will allow players to use Kung-fu-style attacks using palms and kicks with this fighting type.
The DLC has a lot more exciting things to explore and experience. These things, to an extent, prove the range of creative thinking and effort of Miyazaki and the team to develop the DLC of their most popular game.
