However regardless of many followers diving again into the sport time and again (there’s 6 endings in spite of everything), a lot of the group are determined to see what the developer does with the sport subsequent, particularly close to extra post-launch content material.
Will Elden Ring Have DLC?
At this level, nothing has been formally introduced with each FromSoftware and Writer Bandai Namco avoiding any concrete solutions on the way forward for the sport. That being mentioned, FromSoftware does have a historical past of releasing DLC for his or her earlier titles. Darkish Souls 1-3, Bloodborne and Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice all obtained hefty post-launch help and content material updates.
There have additionally been hints in press releases, with one together with a quote from Bandai Namco Leisure President and CEO Yasuo Miyakawa which talks about “increasing the model past the sport itself”. Clearly Bandai Namco know they should capitalise on a recreation as vital as Elden Ring, and you’d think about one of many best methods to do this could be by way of put up launch content material.
23 September Replace - Checked for the newest Elden Ring DLC information. All the latest updates are discovered slightly below.

Nicely, that is surprising.
While we’re all questioning when From Software program will launch DLC for Elden Ring, director Miyazaki has confirmed that the studio’s subsequent recreation is nearing the top of improvement.
In a brand new interview this week with the Japanese website 4Gamer, Miyazaki was requested to make clear some earlier feedback he made in a 2018 interview. Extra particularly, Miyazaki acknowledged that the crew had ‘three and a half’ video games in improvement.
“0.5 is Déraciné, 1.0 is Sekiro and the remaining 2.0 are unannounced titles.” Miyazaki mentioned on the time. We now know that a type of video games was Elden Ring, however what in regards to the different?
4Gamer requested if the remaining recreation was nonetheless on the way in which, and Miyazki confirmed: “Sure, it’s. We’re within the closing phases of improvement.”
Our suspicion is that this new recreation will probably be revealed in direction of the top of the yr at The Sport Awards, and hopefully we’ll study extra in regards to the Elden Ring DLC properly earlier than that.
Summer season Sport Fest begins later immediately with a confirmed begin time of 11am PT / 2pm ET / 7pm BST.

What are the probabilities we see an announcement for Elden Ring DLC? Fingers crossed!
When Is The Elden Ring DLC Launch Date?
Provided that each the writer and developer haven’t formally introduced any Elden Ring DLC on the time of writing it’s very tough to present a agency launch date for after we may see the sport launch some DLC. Nonetheless, after we take a look at FromSoftware’s previous DLC outings it’s attainable to present followers a tough launch window which could trace at after we might see the sport’s first DLC replace.
| Sport | Launch Date | First DLC Launch Date | Time Between |
| Darkish Souls | 22 September 2011 | August 24, 2012 | 11 Months |
| Darkish Souls 2 | 11 March 2014 | July 22, 2014 | 3 Months |
| Darkish Souls 3 | 24 March 2016 | October 21, 2016 | 7 Months |

| Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice | 21 March 2019 | October 29, 2020 | 1 12 months, 7 Months |
As you possibly can see from the desk above, FromSoftware usually launch DLC inside a yr of launching the sport. Clearly, there’s no precise sample, however likewise, we don’t suppose the writer will wish to wait over a yr for DLC in the event that they wish to capitalise on the sport’s unimaginable recognition in 2022. Let’s simply hope it’s not one other case of what we noticed with Demon’s Souls, which obtained no post-launch DLC content material.
We’ll be sure you replace this web page with extra particulars as and after we can.
How Many DLC’s Will Elden Ring Have?
That’s a difficult query, since FromSoftware don’t usually have a set variety of DLC drops for every recreation. The primary Darkish Souls recreation had 1 DLC launch, while Darkish Souls 2 & 3 each had 2 DLC releases for every recreation. Bloodborne, additionally had one DLC launch, however then once more, gamers are nonetheless discovering new monsters and executives by the video games chalice dungeons years after launch, so fairly how a lot content material they made for the sport is anybody guess. Sekiro, obtained a modest free DLC replace, however with out being as substantial as what we’d seen with previous FromSoftware video games.
So it’s exhausting to say. We’d wish to suppose that Bandai Namco would throw suitcases of cash at FromSoftware to make sure the nice occasions carry on rolling with increasingly more content material, however in truth it’s a whole guess as to how a lot the corporate will look to broaden on the sport. Our modest estimation is that we’ll see not less than two DLC releases for the sport, if no more.
Elden Ring DLC Hypothesis & Concepts
There’s no telling which course any Elden Ring DLC might take gamers, however fortunately we’ve got a number of concepts…
Hypothesis Thought 1 – The Divine Towers Thriller Cloud
Some followers have seen that the Elden Ring Divine Tower places seem to converge on one central level on the Elden Ring map. Surprisingly, the Erdree isn’t on the centre of those Tower places, however reasonably a mysterious clouded area which sits in the course of an ocean.
Some gamers have prompt that this has to imply one thing and that we might see this unveiled as a brand new DLC location to discover, however for what goal we simply can’t say. Likewise, it might most likely be comparatively small (not less than in comparison with the sport as an entire) so what might be hiding right here would definitely should be definitely worth the minimal exploration.
Hypothesis Thought 2 – Miquella’s Egg
Malenia, Blade of Miquella is a Boss in Elden Ring, however she’s additionally a twin, with a brother named Miquella.
The demigod brother isn’t seen correctly within the recreation, however is talked about occasionally, with Malenia describing him as “probably the most fearsome Empyrean of all”. Likewise, after we say he’s by no means seen, you possibly can really see him, or not less than, a part of him.
The sport’s lore speaks of Miquella being kidnapped by Mohg, Lord of Blood, one other boss present in Elden Ring. In actual fact you possibly can see Miquella encased in an egg-like cocoon (see beneath). The NPC Gideon Ofnir additionally explains within the recreation that Miquella remains to be alive, since it’s essential to be as a way to slumber, however he additionally means that “all will probably be properly” if he continues to slumber. Fairly what would occur if he had been to get up is anybody’s guess, however we guess it might make some fairly wonderful DLC.
Thought 3 – Colosseum Arenas
After all, each of the strategies above give attention to extra story content material for the sport, however primarily based on a number of leaks, we might additionally see a brand new PvP or PvPvE space added to the sport by way of the sport’s mysterious colosseums. You will have seen these areas from the surface dotted throughout the sport and so far as followers can inform there’s three in complete, in Leyndell, Limgrave, and Caelid.
While there’s no official technique to enter the buildings and discover them, some followers and modders have discovered a manner inside. One explicit modder by the title of Sekiro Dubi has additionally uncovered two hidden enemies and a brand new Website of Grace. The unfinished enemies in query as known as “Gladiator Massive” and “Outdated Lion of the Enviornment”, which as Dubi factors out in his video beneath, definitely appears to make sense on condition that the sport’s lore speaks of those places being locations the place warriors would take a look at themselves in opposition to beasts.
That’s every thing it’s essential to learn about Elden Ring’s rumoured DLC, however keep tuned to Turtle Seashore for extra updates and leaks.
