Shadow of the Erdtree is so big players are calling it Elden Ring 2 FromSoftwareWith Shadow of the Erdtree out, players are taken aback by how large Elden Ring\u2019s first and only DLC really is. It\u2019s at the point where people have just defaulted to calling it Elden Ring 2. Leading up to the release of Shadow of the Erdtree, FromSoftware was very tight-lipped on what players could expect, especially regarding the scope of the DLC. Sure, content creators were taking educated guesses on how big the Land of Shadow would be, and sure, Director Hidetaka Miyazaki said in an interview with IGN that it would be around the size of Limgrave, or a little larger than it. Yet, upon sauntering into the Shadow Realm, it became clear to players that Miyazaki undersold how massive the new setting would be. Elden Ring layers far and wide have been left speechless by Shadow of the Erdtree\u2019s scope. Some have even gone on to say it should be titled Elden Ring 2. \u201cIt was too large to be called a DLC, too polished, too based. It was more like a huge sequel,\u201d one Reddit user shared. Another added: \u201cYeah I am very overwhelmed with how big this sh*t is. No way in hell is this a DLC.\u201d One comment even mentioned how much the video game industry has changed, as they likened Shadow of the Erdtree to an expansion rather than a DLC. The size of the DLC isn\u2019t the only shocker, as players have learned how hard Shadow of the Erdtree is. Incredible builds are being demolished left and right, and content creators around the world are rage-quitting the game. If you ask Miyazaki, however, that\u2019s because he wants players to have a sense of achievement after overcoming insurmountable odds. Our very own review gave it a 5\/5, dubbing it a \u201csublime swansong\u201d from Elden Ring\u2019s DLC. It\u2019s also dethroned The Witcher 3\u2019s Blood and Wine expansion to claim the label of highest-rated DLC of all time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
