The DLC is scheduled for release on June 21. Elden Ring director Hidetaka Miyazaki has made comments on new elements unique to Shadow of the Erdtree, and one of them seems to be a level-up mechanic reminiscent of Attack Power in Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"ELDEN RING Shadow of the Erdtree | Official Gameplay Reveal Trailer\" width=\"1160\" height=\"653\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/qLZenOn7WUo?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Shadow of the Erdtree is an upcoming Elden Ring expansion that players have been anticipating for a long time. The story is set on a new map, the Land of Shadow, which is physically separated from the existing Lands Between. While showing another side of the original game\u2019s lore, the DLC will feature many new aspects \u2013 such as the mysterious character Messmer who was revealed in the latest trailer, leaving many Elden Ring fans speculating. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The upcoming expansion will also bring new gameplay elements, which Miyazaki revealed interesting details about in a recent interview with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.famitsu.com\/news\/202402\/22335199.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Famitsu<\/a>.\u00a0When asked about mechanics unique to the DLC, Miyazaki starts of by mentioning the addition of a \u201clevel-up element.\u201d He explains it as follows: \u201cYou will best understand it if you imagine something akin to \u2018Attack Power\u2019 in Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice. It\u2019s something like an Attack Power separate from existing levels that is only effective within the DLC area.\u201c\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1270\" height=\"658\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1270px) 100vw, 1270px\" src=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/20240222-27597-001jpg.jpg\" alt=\"Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree trailer footage\" class=\"wp-image-27610\" srcset=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/20240222-27597-001jpg.jpg 1270w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/20240222-27597-001jpg-380x197.jpg 380w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/20240222-27597-001jpg-768x398.jpg 768w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/20240222-27597-001jpg-600x311.jpg 600w\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Attack Power in Sekiro refers to how much damage the player will deal to enemies with each attack, and this value increases as you progress through the game. Miyazaki explains that the purpose of adding such a mechanic to Shadow of the Erdtree is to give the player the freedom to decide how challenging they want the game to be even at higher levels. He describes this in simple terms \u2013 players who want to grind and defeat bosses more easily might decide that, \u201cThis boss is too strong, so I\u2019ll explore some other area and challenge them again after I get stronger.\u201d Alternatively, players can choose to take on bosses when at a lower level if they want to experience more of a challenge.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As another addition and the Shadow of the Erdtree DLC\u2019s \u201cselling point,\u201d Miyazaki mentions various new weapons, magic spells and skills. The expansion will feature 8 new weapon types, as well as additions to existing weapons. Some of the new weapons will be more orthodox, such as a Japanese dait\u014d (long sword) and sakabat\u014d (reverse grip sword), but some will be more novel, like a dueling shield and throwing daggers.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Elden Ring DLC &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.eldenring.jp\/shadowoftheerdtree.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Shadow of the Erdtree<\/a> &#8221; is scheduled for release on June 21 for the PC (Steam), PS4\/PS5 and Xbox series X|S\/Xbox One.&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>FromSoftware&#8217;s Miyazaki has commented that the Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree DLC will include new gameplay elements.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":55,"featured_media":27606,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_gspb_post_css":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[56,17],"class_list":["post-27597","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news","tag-elden-ring","tag-japan-related-news"],"blocksy_meta":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.2 -
