FromSoftware is gearing up to launch Elden Ring expansion Shadow Of The Erdtree, but the studio has also hinted that a sequel could be in the works.The Shadow Of The Erdtree expansion for Elden Ring was first announced back in February 2023, with the DLC due for release June 21.According to Bandai Namco, it is “FromSoftware’s largest expansion to date, where players must unravel the hidden mystery of the world from the acclaimed fantasy action RPG.” In a new interview with Chinese outlet Campfire Camp, FromSoftware head Hidetaka Miyazaki has confirmed that Shadow Of The Erdtree will be “the first and last” DLC for the game. “We have no plans to add more content to Elden Ring,” he said (via IGN).“Elden Ring emphasises exploration and adventure in a big world.

In order to provide such an experience, a vast and huge setting is inevitably needed. Therefore, instead of splitting it into several parts, it was better to simply make one big [expansion].

If they were sold separately, the freedom of exploration and sense of adventure would be reduced,” he added.However, Miyazaki also continued to tease the possibility of Elden Ring 2.

When asked about the chance of a sequel, he explained how FromSoftware deliberately leaves the end of its games open to potential sequels and wouldn’t rule out a follow-up.Earlier this year, Miyazaki hinted another Elden Ring was being considered. “We don’t want to say this is the end of the Elden Ring saga for now.
