Fans of Elden Ring who have beaten the game and replayed it have been waiting with bated breath for a DLC. Based on past FromSoftware games, such as Bloodborne and Dark Souls 3, a DLC or two are expected to be released. Since Bloodborne and The Old Hunters __ DLC were released the same year, and the tragic story of Dark Souls 3 ‘s main game and its first DLC, Ashes of Ariandel , were also released the same year, with The Ringed City DLC following a year later, it seems likely that Elden Ring DLC may not be far off. Many Elden Ring fans have hopes about what the future DLC will contain, such as more lore information that answers burning questions, and the unveiling of new and exciting locations. If the Barbarians of the Badlands __ leak is real, then this may be the first of several DLCs that reveal more about the world of Elden Ri
Further support for the leak being a hoax lies in the fact that a ransomware attack will naturally demand some form of payment from its target. When Cyberpunk 2077 studio CD Projekt Red was hacked , they received a ransom note demanding payment with the threat of releasing information. It makes little sense for ALPHV to hack into Bandai Namco’s servers, steal sensitive data, and then give out vital information they are holding hostage for f
The Raptor’s Black Feathers armor in Elden Ring nods to a beloved Bloodborne character, Eileen the Crow. It features a cape crafted with bird feathers, intended to imitate the Elden Ring ‘s Deathbirds, and is worn by an assassin called Ravenmount. Eileen’s armor has much in common with this set, being adorned with a cape made from crow feathers, similarly invoking worship of birds as figures of de
A one-armed warrior, she may remind some FromSoftware fans of the One-Armed Wolf protagonist of 2019’s Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice . Ultimately, players can either defend or challenge her at the end of her questline, and each option yields unique end-game it
However, the death of Godwyn the Golden poses a potential challenge to this theory. On the Night of the Black Knives, Ranni’s physical form died while Godwyn’s soul form perished. Godwyn was supposedly Marika’s favorite child, and, from some perspectives, his death is one of the reasons she tried to destroy the Elden Ring, which led to a Elden Ring ‘s brutal war known as The Shattering . In other words, it’s unclear why Marika would help or recruit Ranni if it would mean the death of her favorite child. One possible explanation is that Ranni accepted Marika’s help with the intention of betraying her, but there is no solid evide
However, there is also a chance that this leak is a hoax fabricated by the group responsible for the ransomware attack. Based on the other game titles released, some individuals believe this leak is a hoax and has no chance of being true. That said, this also happened with Capcom several years ago, ultimately resulting in the Dragons Dogma 2 sequel being revealed ahead of sched
Queen Marika, the ruler of The lands Between story Between in **Elden Ring ** , has ties to people and places that may point to her actually being a Mimic from the Eternal Cities. This Elden Ring theory has evolved in the months since the game launched. It may sound outlandish at first but makes a lot of sense when considering the game’s penchant for hidden plots and alternate identities. The theory also has significant in-game evidence to back it
The intersections of Marika’s plans with those of the Nox and Ranni provide enough circumstantial evidence to suggest that Marika may be the lord the Nox tried to forge with the Silver Tears. If she truly is a Mimic, this also explains her ability to transform into Radagon. The plots these individuals set forth have been in play long before the events of **Elden Ring ** . When the player Tarnished arrives in The Lands Between, they will have a crucial role in the outcome of these plans. Assuming the player chooses Ranni’s Age of Stars ending, it’s possible Marika and the Nox will be proven victori
The Sword of Night and Flame once stood next to the Moonveil as the best weapon in the game. It’s dual ability in the form of the Night-and-Flame Stance allowed the Tarnished to use either a powerful Faith-based or Intelligence-based spell. While both moves were strong, the Intelligence Night spell was especially noteworthy in PvE because of its resemblance to Comet Azure. Combined with Royal Knight’s Resolve, the Sword of Night and Flame allowed players to easily kill bosses from a distance as shown by Schlechtelaunetyp above, and if an opponent closed in at all, they could then use the Flame ability to wipe out any remaining hea
Around the time that Bandai Namco announced the unauthorized access servers, an image of several big-name titles planned for release in 2023 began circulating around the internet. Broken up into four groups through the year 2023, some of the games included are Tekken 8, Armored Core, the Elden Ring DLC leak Barbarians of the Badlands , __ and Dragonball Fighter Z Su
