After its initial announcement back in June, the first DLC for the critically acclaimed FromSoftware RPG kept everyone in the dark for over a year. And after several reports of the publisher updating the Steam database, we have some good news. The Ring of Fire: Shadow of the Erdtree has finally revealed itself to the world.
The Ring of Fire: Shadow of the Erdtree DLC Review
Bandai Namco made an official announcement, where we got the first glimpses of the upcoming DLC. The trailer gives us more than three minutes of content in easily digestible sizes.
For starters, the trailer confirms various new locations that will be available. According to the official website, Shadow of the Erdtree will take players to the Land of Shadows, a brand new location with unexplored regions. This is the place where the goddess Marika first set foot. We can see a new swamp area covered with old trees, a dilapidated house in the middle, a magma place and a round staircase with hanging pots.
We also get a look at what appear to be new NPCs. It includes a person wearing armor inspired by the Roman legate, an NPC wearing heavy armor, sitting with a pot, and another person clearly sitting on a throne. Of course, the trailer also confirms new weapon art and spells for the characters, even something that looks like the Crucible Knight's wings.
