A new Elden Ring DLC story trailer has been released for Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree, and this recounts the epic and grim lore behind the story that the DLC was created around.

The trailer came with the following details: “In the Land of Shadow, a place obscured by the Erdtree, Empyrean Miquella awaits the return of his promised Lord.

“Here’s a glimpse of what to expect from the Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree DLC for the action-RPG. Discover strange new lands and dark secrets in FromSoftware’s largest expansion to date.”

The three-minute trailer chronicles the historic war waged by the villainous Messmer, as well as the response from Miquella, a central character in the DLC who was mostly just a background character in the main Elden Ring game. 

I love Elden Ring, and it’s one of those games that I slowly continue to play through when time allows. This DLC looks like it’s going to be an awesome addition.

FromSoftware will release the Shadow of the Erdtree DLC on June 2tst.
