FromSoftware released the first DLC for Elden Ring, Shadow of The Erdtree, last month. To no one’s surprise, the DLC ended up being every bit as good as the base game. Following its success, fans are craving another journey in the Elden Ring universe.

While FromSoftware might not have plans to create more DLCs, most fans seem to agree that the game deserves more content.

Why it matters: Fans believe that there is a lot more to discuss with Elden Ring’s story. So, a second expansion could take a deeper dive into the lore, just like the fans want.

Shadow of The Erdtree is FromSoftware’s biggest DLC to date. However, there was more room to explore the overall lore. The story of the expansion mainly focuses on Queen Marika, but a lot of the questions are still unanswered.

There is a lot more lore to explore since we have hardly delved into the story of the Gloam-Eyed Queen. Then there are also the Godskin Apostles, who are more of a mystery and can be better explained with another DLC.

Miyazaki has to make another DLC.

However, at this time, the possibility of another DLC looks to be quite thin. Miyazaki confirmed that Shadow of The Erdtree would be the only expansion Elden Ring would get, but he did leave room for more content in the future if there were any new ideas.

Unfortunately, fans seem to agree that there won’t be another DLC for Elden Ring. This is a bit disappointing since FromSoftware would be moving on without realizing this IP’s full potential.

Even with the current demand, FromSoftware might not necessarily return for another DLC. The studio has always been one to follow its vision, so another DLC will only happen if the team feels like it has a genuinely great story to tell again.

However, if the team decides to change course, Elden Ring fans would be in for a treat.
