PC?


I started on PC, and like clockwork bought it on PS5 where most of my progress is at. But I'm thinking about jumping back on my PC playthrough.

ETA I'm not far on either playthrough, think I defeated Margit and not much further after that.

Am I remembering it wrong, or is there a co-op mode with this game? Or was that a mod?

That was a mod. You can summon for boss fights, but not a whole playthrough. Someone did make a mod where you can do a whole new playthrough with someone else, though.

You can watch the trailer here: LINK

RELEASE DATE: June 21st 2024
PRICE: Standard Edition 31.99, Premium Edition 39.99 USD
TRAILER TRANSCRIPT

Pure and radiant, he wields love to shrive clean the hearts of men.
There is nothing more terrifying. In that forsaken place, blood must spill. The blood of your fellows, the Erdtree faithful. They were never saints. They just happened to be on the losing side of a war.
Mother, wouldst thou truly Lordship sanction, in one so bereft of light? I presume you, too, are keen to know. Just What Kind Miquella is doing here.
Those stripped of the Grace of Gold shall all meet death. In the embrace of Messmer's fiame.
Come, now. Touch the withered arm, and travel to the realm of shadow. I Will not be far behind. May we meet again.

FALL FROM GRACE

The Land of Shadow. A place obscured by the Erdtree. Where the goddess Marika first set foot.

A land purged in an unsung battle. Set ablaze by Messmer’s flame.

It was to this land that Miquella departed. Divesting himself of his flesh, his strength, his lineage. Of all things Golden.

And now Miquella awaits the return of his promised Lord.

A New Story

Guided by Empyrean Miquella, players are beckoned to the Land of Shadow, a place obscured by the Erdtree where the goddess Marika first set foot.

In these strange new lands, players discover the dark secrets of the world as they meet others who follow in Miquella’s footsteps with ulterior motives.

Exploring a Familiar World Full of New Secrets

ELDEN RING Shadow of the Erdtree takes players beyond the Lands Between to explore the Land of Shadow, a completely new world from ELDEN RING.

Players can seamlessly travel back and forth between its vast maps interspersed with diverse situations and meticulous dungeons where menacing enemies roam.

A Further-deepened RPG

Shadow of the Erdtree adds new weapons, equipment, weapon skills and magic not found in the base game ELDEN RING, along with new enemies, boss encounters and plotlines to further increase players' RPG freedom.

Take on these threats with the new powers you can acquire.

I mean they are all related. But he’s probably a closer relative to malenia/miquella/melina since all the Ms are in one bloodline and the Rs are in another

Messmer is likely not the final boss, either.

DS3 dlc trailers barely revealed Gael and Freide

Here’s a pretty informative interview IGN did with Miyazaki about the dlc

The map will be “probably comparable, if not larger, than the area of Limgrave”
quote:

expect a similar experience to what they had with the base game. This is going to be structured in a similar way, as you said, with open field maps, with large scale legacy dungeons, and with small to medium scale legacies as well

quote:

And it takes place, again, on an entirely separate, physically separate map. So it will involve a warp of sorts to get there.

He mentions that warp being in Mohg’s arena

Messmer:
quote:

We believe he will be officially revealed to be Messmer by the time the trailer goes live. And yes, he's a key figure in the DLC and he again has this important element of shadow to him, which is a key theme throughout the DLC as well. And you may have seen at the end of the trailer, there was this piece of key art where it shows Messmer sat in this throne-like chair, and people who've played the game may recognize this throne to be one of those from the boss room where you battle Morgott. And this represents the thrones at the base of the Erdtree. And it's supposed to symbolize that Messmer stands on equal footing to these other demigods and children of Marika who sat around in these thrones and held the rooms of the Erdtree.

George R R Martin:
quote:

we just want to point out that he hasn't written anything exclusively and new for the sake of this DLC

Difficulty:
quote:

Our general approach to difficulty has of course not changed to Elden Ring. We want to create a challenging experience that tests the players and that gives them a feeling of satisfaction and accomplishment when they get through these struggles

quote:

And again, to our more hardcore players, they will find optional bosses who have been tuned in a similar way to the likes of Malenia, who I'm sure you remember from the base game, who are not crucial.

It's not the fact that it's only a lesser level to Malenia, but we have prepared bosses on that with that similar mindset within the DLC area, ones that will challenge the player and hopefully be as memorable as Malenia was

Future of Elden ring:
quote:

We don't have any current plans to make a second DLC or a sequel, but we definitely don't want to snuff out that possibility. We think that there could well be something the future.


Also saw this interview with Miyazaki that Eurogamer did.

They say it’s 10 bosses. With 8 new weapon categories
