FromSoftware Has Bad News For Fans Looking Forward To More Elden Ring

Miyazaki emphasized that the team doesn't view Shadow of the Erdtree as the definitive end for Elden Ring. He expressed a desire not to close off the possibility of further exploration within the Elden Ring universe. "There might be more ideas in the future," he noted, suggesting that while the door is not closed on Elden Ring, fans should not hold their breath for immediate continuation plans.

This isn't new for FromSoftware. The studio has a history of releasing sequels, with the likes of Armored Core reaching multiple entries, including last year's Armored Core VI: Fires of Rubicon. Miyazaki's "never say never" approach maintains hope for the future of Elden Ring, but confirms that no sequel or additional DLC is currently underway.

For now fans can look forward to the release of Shadow of the Erdtree on June 21. It will introduce players to a new area, the Land of Shadow, featuring new challenges and storylines, including boss fights as challenging as Malenia.

The news may be disappointing for fans looking forward to more content beyond the upcoming DLC but at least FromSoftware squeezed out its most massive expansion yet before possibly calling it quits on Elden Ring, at least temporarily.

Interestingly, Miyazaki's statement starks in contrast to what Bandai Namco said before following Elden Ring's initial launch. It's worth noting that FromSoftware recently acquired ownership of Elden Ring from its publisher.
