Elden Ring’s Shadow of the Erdtree DLC Can Break a Longstanding Dark Souls Tradition

Elden Ring‘s first upcoming DLC, Shadow of the Erdtree, is the latest in a long line of expansions from developer FromSoftware. Beginning with the first of its Dark Souls games, each of the Soulsborne series has received at least one paid DLC, except for Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice. The sheer size of Elden Ring dwarfs the other games released by the Japanese developer, and as a result, many are expecting Shadow of the Erdtree to be its biggest expansion yet. Accessing a FromSoftware expansion is usually a complicated affair though, and some fans will be hoping that Shadow of the Erdtree can break from tradition in this regard.
