Even Hidetaka Miyazaki is Keeping Quiet about the Most Terrifying Creature You Have to Fight in Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree

Fans are as excited as ever for the upcoming Elden Ring Shadow of the Erdtree DLC. The coming extension promises to bring a variety of new enemies to fight against and a whole other region to explore with your trusted torrent.

However, there is no doubt that danger would lurk in every single corner of this area, called the Land of Shadow, as teased in the recent gameplay trailer for the coming DLC. Talking about one such enemy that the player will get to face in the coming months, Hidetaka Miyazaki revealed in an interview via IGN how he would like to keep things discrete for now.

The gameplay trailer has answered many, but at the same time posed many questions for the fans. One of them is about what kind of enemies we will get to face in the coming DLC. Talking in particular about the worm-like creature seen in the gameplay trailer for the coming extension, Hidetaka Miyazaki was asked to describe about their abilities, upon which he replied-

“It’s hard to talk about some of these enemies without spoiling anything, hopefully you understand. But there is a significant connection between these enemies, the way they are, and the Land of Shadow.”

The director of the game essentially disclosed how he can not reveal anything major about the coming enemies without spoiling the content of the DLC, and thus refrains from doing the same. However, he did give a hint on how there is an interweaved connection between these enemies and the land they are found in.

Furthermore, the coming DLC for the game will not only bring with itself an addition of new elements but will also fix one of the major flaws in the main Elden Ring game, which Hidetaka Miyazaki regrets.

Elden Ring was the first game that FromSoftware has chosen to properly create an open-world map for. The game allows you to move on from an enemy you are not able to currently beat at the time, and come back to it later after you have explored other areas in The Lands Between, a mechanic which was not possible to practice in previous Soulslike games.

However, revealed in an interview via Eurogamer, Miyazaki stated how the map of the main game has too much potential and enemies to be explored and defeated, overwhelming the player. This is a flaw that the coming DLC is aiming to fix by having a denser and richer-level design for the Land of Shadow.

The anticipated Shadow of the Erdtree DLC is scheduled to be finally released on 21st June 2024. Millions of fans around the world now patiently wait for its release as they await to be guided by Miquella into our journey in the Land of Shadow.

Shadow of the Erdtree DLC is available to pre-order on Steam.
