Fall into Sin Bandai Namco Entertainment and FromSoftware have just announced a new trailer that offers the first glimpse of Elden Ring Shadow of the Erdtree, the expansion to the award-winning action RPG, which will launch globally on June 21.
“Land of Shadows. A place darkened by the Erdtree… where the feet of the goddess Marika first trod… a land purified in an unknown battle… and set ablaze with Messmer’s flame… and to this land Miquella set out… where she stripped herself of her flesh, her strength, her lineage… and all that is golden… And now Miquela waits… for the return of her promised prince.”
The first look at the expansion comes two years after the release of ELDEN RING. The world created by FromSoftware director Hidetaka Miyazaki and George R.R. Martin, author of the brilliant fantasy series A Song of Ice and Fire, has received widespread critical acclaim, having won several prestigious awards around the world, including Game of the Year at The Game Awards 2022, Golden Joystick 2022, 26th DICE Awards, 2023 Game Developers Choice Awards, and many other accolades.
In Shadow of the Erdtree, players enter the Shadowlands to explore a new adventure full of mystery and danger, and face powerful bosses with new weapons and armor. Follow in Miquella’s footsteps and discover the dark side of ELDEN RING’s story.
