So far, however, there has unfortunately been neither an official announcement nor further specific details from the publisher Bandai Namco. But maybe the marketing department is just warming up with this trailer. It is not unlikely that there will be fresh information about the Elden Ring DLC soon.
What do people think of the trailer? Apparently, From Software caught the hungry fans off guard with the new trailer for Elden Ring. In the comments on YouTube, most players apparently expected an official announcement for a DLC. Some players are disappointed in the comments, for others the trailer even caused displeasure and incomprehension.
- Miguel Gomes writes: “My god, my heart almost stopped when I thought it was DLC.”
- Royal Vegeta 83 comments with disappointment: “[…] I was like, ‘Wow, DLC, finally!’ and now I just feel empty inside.”
- AlphaMarthos is angry: „[…] What is the point of this announcement? Bandai Namco never shows up, and if they do, it’s only to promote a game they’ve already sold 15 million copies. There are people waiting for in-game content, lore, a little overview of what’s happening in the game, for example, for the next month. In my opinion, this is a pointless waste of money for an advertisement that Elden Ring never needed. We’re a bit disappointed because we love Elden Ring […]“
- Nazhul finds: “The game is so good but the marketing sucks.”
What does the trailer tell us? The hype around Elden Ring was huge at the beginning of the year. Still marketing months after release seems like Bandai Namco wants to keep Elden Ring relevant in the minds of players. Perhaps players should be encouraged to continue playing who have not been able to defeat the last big bosses.
When the latecomers have finally played through Elden Ring in a few months, From Software may have the right lookup ready with the DLC. It is very likely that there will be any DLC for PC, PS5 and Xbox Series X at all. The studio certainly won’t pass up the chance to build on the game’s success.
