Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree Gets Brand New Story Trailer

A new Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree trailer was released online today, providing a new quick look at the highly anticipated expansion.

The new trailer, which can be watched below, focuses on the expansion's story, which takes place in the Land of Shadow, a place obscured by the Erdtree where the goddess Marika first set foot. Guided by the Empyrean Miquella, players will discover the dark secrets of the world in this land and meet others who follow in Miquella's footsteps with ulterior motives.

With its new locations to explore and new enemies to defeat while taking advantage of new mechanics and weapons, the Shadow of the Erdtree expansion is set to improve the Elden Ring experience considerably, which was already excellent to begin with, as I highlighted in my review.

I tried hard to find any faults in Elden Ring, but no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't find any outside of some technical issues that the developers could fix via patches. I firmly believe that perfection doesn't exist and that it is always possible to improve, but I really couldn't think of anything that Elden Ring could have done better. As such, the game wholly deserves a perfect score, an honor I would have given only to a couple of other modern games, not only for its extremely high quality but also for what it accomplished with its open world and for how it will surely influence video games as a whole in the future.

Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree launches on PC, PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S and Xbox One on June 21st.
