It's not often that an expansion can command greater hype levels than full games, but that's exactly what's happened with Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree. FromSoftware's highly anticipated return to its 2022 masterpiece has already attracted ridiculously positive review scores, although as is always the case with DLC, we're left wondering whether it can tempt every lapsed Elden Ring player back to The Lands Between.
We dubbed the expansion "familiar FromSoftware brilliance" in our own Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree PS5 review. "With a new land to explore, a fresh set of bosses to fight, and extra lore to consume, it's so much more Elden Ring," we concluded.
