[kikkis]

Wonder what the price will be. My guess is at least 40$

 

[Mr Hyde]

He mentioned Bloodborne. At the Playstation Awards.

 

[Mitsurugi Reiji]

LET HIM COOK!

 

[Ar¢tos]

I wonder how big this dlc is going to be. From usually doesn't disappoint with DLC (except for Ashes of Ariendel...).

 

[Go_Ly_Dow]

April or May I bet.

 

[FunkMiller]

40 hours plus nailed on.

 

[Northeastmonk]

Thank you Mr. Kitao. Some official news for once.

 

[Mitsurugi Reiji]

I wonder how big this dlc is going to be. From usually doesn't disappoint with DLC (except for Ashes of Ariendel...).

Even Ashes had an all time great boss fight.

 

[Saber]

Good. Take your time and perfect everything.

 

[tommib]

DLC will be longer than main game at this point. Better call this Elden Ring 2.

 

[Ar¢tos]

Even Ashes had an all time great boss fight.

Tried to do that fight at lvl 12 for 3 days to enter the Ringed City. 3 phases with full hp each phase (and a helper) and me with limited estus/healing items. Never got past the 3rd phase. After giving up, it only took me 1 day to get to the final boss area of the main game and enter the Ringed City from there.

That sounds very challenging. If done at recommended level, it is a phenomenal boss fight.

 

[Fake]

Little steps with calm.

 

[DelireMan7]

He mentioned Bloodborne. At the Playstation Awards.

The mention of Bloodborne is intriguing and the most important information for me

 

[Mephisto40]

If they are planning on charging any more than $30 for it I would expect a sizeable new area, considering that's half the price of the base game

 

[rhodesianshepard]

I'm betting it will be similar in size to Liurnia of the Lakes, probably with 2 legacy dungeons. That is my expectation at least. 30$ seems fair for that

 

[Mephisto40]

I'm thinking the same, unless they go down the route of creating a more linear dark souls style experience, which I wouldn't be against tbh

 

[Flutta]

How massive is this DLC? Sounds more like an expansion…

 

[The Infectious Paradox]

Even Ashes had an all time great boss fight.

Gael was amazing too

 

[Pancakes and Sausage]

Bloodborne eh? What could that mean in this context?

Is it going to be full of those chalice dungeons?

Are we gonna farm blood vials now?

Am I getting a cool new cane weapon?

Hmmmmm

 

[MiguelItUp]

Man, I'm just so excited it's happening and next year. I love ER so damn much, and I'm beyond hyped to experience new content.

 

[Blindy]

Take your time with this please boys. If it is one giant DLC, it will be so worth it. The way FROM treats these DLCs(for the most part), they're practically like mini games.

 

[Paltheos]

Still curious how this will pan out in the context of Elden Ring's loop. Are we getting a new open world area with a legacy dungeon? Just one, big legacy dungeon? I hope something like the latter.

 

[MaKTaiL]

Expansions are DLCs...

 

[DragonNCM]

I suspect this dlc will be like half maingame.

 

[WitchHunter]

Please, include some hard bosses for me, where i can die 425 times, because Elden Ring bosses were terrible.

 

[SantaC]

Disapponting really. 2 years later and they struggle to get DLC out. We havent got a single new weapon

 

[Danjin44]

They can take their time as much as they want, because I know they always deliver.....But I guess this means this expansion is not coming out in Feb like rumours suggest.

But we are getting some new trailer in TGA this year......right?

I am wondering the same. It doesn't seem that this was deliberately announced to avoid fan disappointment at tga. They were part of the awards and had to answer a question so there is a chance for trailer at tga. However yes, game is not coming anytime soon.

 

[SantaC]

I am thinking Q4 2024 now

 

[S0ULZB0URNE]

Where was it?

Hopefully it meets the April date...

 

[GrayChild]

Where was it?

Definitely not at The Game Awards...

 

[Ar¢tos]

?!?
Are you confusing Elden Ring with Destiny?
This isn't a live service game with a season pass.

 

[DaciaJC]

Where was it?

Hopefully it meets the April date...

What's this April date you're referring to?

 

[Shifty1897]

Bro... We're almost 2 years from release. HOW is the DLC taking this long? FF16 is putting out 2 DLCs within 9 months from launch.

 

[Pancakes and Sausage]

If it was an April date then we would have seen it at the VGA.

November 2024 or I wouldn’t doubt if From just releases Elden Ring 2 in 2025 instead.

Three years for DLC is pretty slow

 

[tommib]

Bro... We're almost 2 years from release. HOW is the DLC taking this long? FF16 is putting out 2 DLCs within 9 months from launch.

Because From Software is probably working on making the biggest and best DLC the world has seen. I agree that at this point they should just call it Elden Ring 2 - it’s too long time indeed in production for an expansion.

But these guys after all the critical and financial success of the title have probably raised their quality requirements to the highest heavens. They’re dying to impress the community all over again.

 

[mystech]

I’m thinking they give a glimpse of it for the Elden Ring 2nd anniversary with hands on previews coming soon after to build hype and then launch.

Still surprised we didn’t see it at TGA. I almost would have bet on that.

 

[gaming_again]

Frustrating that it wasn't shown at the awards but it's not as if there isn't plenty to be playing otherwise. Myself, I've started yet another file in Elden Ring and it's just as compulsive as ever.
