With the amount and time they are taking with the dlc (shadow of erdtree); could it actually be used for Elden Ring 2 instead? At first I thought the current DLC would be happen these holidays, but with no official release date. Maybe they moved the project right into a sequel?

 

[The Cockatrice]

Unlikely, as for the expansion/dlc, if it doesnt get a trailer at the game awards chances are it's coming mid/late 2024.

 

[damidu]

all they have to add is sky islands, they already had underground

 

[S0ULZB0URNE]

Not happening.
They move on to Spellbound next and ER2 after it.

 

[LakeOf9]

This year is for Armored Core, the DLC was never going to launch this year

 

[asdasdasdbb]

It's possible it ends up being more like Standalone DLC.

 

[The Infectious Paradox]

Scrap it and make DS4. I prefer the more Gothic vibe

 

[DownLikeBCPowder]

I think it would be great. I'd rather have a new full game than DLC in any situation just about. Don't know necessarily how likely it is. I'd also rather them go back to older formula rather than an Elden Ring 2.

 

[Saber]

Not a chance.

Elden Ring its their biggest project yet. No way they gonna stop DLC to make a sequel. If they are moving the DLC timeframe is probably to not interfere with Armored Core.

Completely different games though.

Also, fromsoft has two teams right

 

[AngelMuffin]

Like CoD Modern Warfare III?

 

[Raonak]

Honestly not a bad idea considering how long dev times are these days.

 

[MagnesD3]

I dont want an Elden Ring sequel until like 4 years from now, I expect great things from something that calls itself Elden Ring 2. Id much rather just enjoy a huge expansion for now around the Jan-Mar 2024 window.

 

[Rhazer Fusion]

Honestly, I don’t think that’s such a bad idea. I wouldn’t mind a full fledged sequel over an expansion. Elden Ring is already a huge game with a plethora of content so imo it doesn’t really need an expansion. I’m not necessarily complaining about it though.

 

[DeepEnigma]

You mean like TotK

 

[Fake]

all they have to add is sky islands, they already had underground

Elden Ring: Tears of Malenia, sword of Miquella.

 

[Loomy]

A DLC guarantees them some short term income. A new full game would be years away.

 

[Pasta la Vista]

There will be flying, and flight combat. Purely speculation here.

 

[DeepEnigma]

They already did kind of, the Crumbling Farum Azula.

 

[Saber]

Completely different games though.

And?
By releasing 2 close between each other it can influence sales as people might not buy one or another since not everyone goes on a stupid buying spree.

 

[Danjin44]

Honestly I don’t care if they do expansion or sequel, after replaying it recently I want even more Elden Ring.

it feels I’m in love with Elden Ring all over again, I still like Sekiro more but I can honestly say I like Elden Ring more than Bloodborne.

 

[GetInTheRobot]

Elden Ring: Modern Warfare 3

 

[Hemingwayoffbase]

No. I’d definitely rather a great DLC campaign in the spirit of an expansion like the ones Dark Souls 2 had and let From take their time to fully develop an honest to goodness sequel.

 

[K2D]

I think that is a too big of an ask..

Both for the devs who has to make the game and players who have to re thread the same world.

They can make "The Age of Stars"-ending (Elden Ring), the new open world Bloodborne game..

 

[Zheph]

edit : nevermind

 

[balls of snow]

Its gonna be old hunters style and thats it for ER.

 

[Jigsaah]

nah im good. Let Elden Ring breathe. DLC is good enough...don't release the next one til 2026

 

[StueyDuck]

throw in 1000+ bloodsac seeds and you've got yourself a deal

 

[Robb]

Surely they’re doing both? Hard to believe they have not already started on a sequel to one of their most successful titles.

 

[MagnesD3]

Kill me

 

[John Bilbo]

I think they are focusing on marketing Armored Core VI currently.

In a month or two we will probably hear more about Elden Ring DLC.
