The Witcher 3 dev responds to Elden Ring breaking DLC record with stunning art FromSoftware \/ CD ProjektCD Projekt Red has congratulated FromSoftware after Elden Ring\u2019s Shadow of the Erdtree expansion broke a long-standing Witcher 3 record. Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree was released to rave reviews, becoming the highest-rated DLC of all time. It currently sits at a 95 on Metacritic, overtaking the previous record of 92 held by Blood and Wine, the second and final expansion for The Witcher 3. Now, The Witcher developer CD Projekt Red has responded to its record being broken by congratulating FromSoftware on its achievement \u2013 and sharing some gorgeous crossover artwork. In a tweet from the official Witcher account, CDPR acknowledged Blood and Wine\u2019s eight-year-long run as \u201cthe best-reviewed expansion for a role-playing game\u201d had come to an end, saying \u201c@ELDENRING gets to wear that crown now\u201d thanks to FromSoftware\u2019s \u201cstellar work.\u201d The words of praise were posted alongside artwork that shows Witcher protagonist Geralt of Rivia standing on the Moghwyn Dynasty Mausoleum after defeating Mohg, Lord of Blood. Geralt is even holding Mohgwyn\u2019s Sacred Spear, a weapon players can unlock after defeating the boss. The choice of Elden Ring enemy here is intentional, as Mohg is the last boss players need to defeat before they can start playing Shadow of the Erdtree. That\u2019s made clear by another image The Witcher account shared featuring screenshots of CDPR devs clearing this very fight in preparation for the DLC\u2019s launch. Here’s a live view of REDs this week trying to prepare for Shadow of the Erdtree. pic.twitter.com\/Ixb3rxrpyZ \u2014 The Witcher (@witchergame) June 21, 2024 Fans of both games were thrilled by the artwork and CDPR\u2019s \u201cgracious tweet\u201d acknowledging the new record holder, with many calling it a classy move. \u201cThe two best gaming studios giving each other their flowers, this is a legendary moment in gaming history,\u201d said one fan. Another put it more simply, saying \u201cGoat recognize goat.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
