FromSoftware’s Hidetaka Miyazaki has discussed the size of Elden Ring DLC Shadow of the Erdtree and the desire for players to experience the same sense of discovery as that of the base game.
Previously, Miyazaki described Shadow of the Erdtree to Eurogamer as the studio’s “largest expansion” ever: “In terms of pure surface area, you could think of something larger even than Limgrave in the base game,” he said.
Following the latest previews, Miyazaki has discussed the DLC’s size further with PC Gamer. “At the very outset there were a lot of possibilities, but one of the things that was determined very early on was that size,” he said.
