We’re not far out from the discharge of Shadow of the Erdtree, the primary DLC enlargement for 2022’s wonderful Elden Ring. At present, we received a narrative trailer detailing simply what’s in retailer, together with some fairly vital story for one of many main gamers: Miquella.

Known as “Miquella the Type” on this trailer, the offspring of Radagon and Marika, twin to Malenia, the demigod is a focus of Shadow of the Erdtree. In at present’s trailer, we hear a few seduction, and betrayal; an “affair from which Gold arose, and so too was Shadow born.”

The following, unseen conflict highlights the “tyranny of Messmer’s flame,” which appears to coat the royal metropolis of Leyndell. We’re additionally reminded of Miquella’s sacrifice, giving up his flesh, power, and “even his destiny” for a trigger. However because the trailer asserts, “we” aren’t deterred, implying Miquella’s followers nonetheless persist within the Lands Between.

There’s loads to unpack right here. I’ve little doubt the lore people will pore over this trailer within the coming days, because it hints in direction of info on one in every of Elden Ring‘s still-lingering threads in Miquella and hints in direction of historical past we would not have been directed to, prior to now. This conflict that might not be sung positive appears chaotic.

Fortunately, we received’t be ready lengthy. Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree is just a few month away, arriving on June 21, 2024. Although it’ll price $39.99, the enlargement is additionally set to be pretty huge, so it looks as if FromSoft followers can have loads to chew on close to the tip of June.
