It’s been teased that moreElden Ringcontent is on the way, either through free updates or more expansive DLC, but nothing official has been announced at the time of this writing.

It will feature a live show, giveaways, contests, prizes, a “pub quiz,” drinks, cosplay, and the chance to battle it out inElden Ring’s PvP. So far, the event is only being advertised by the Bandai Namco Nordics Twitter account, with no mention on the officialElden Ringaccount or the Bandai Namco US account. Considering this, fans shouldn’t tune in expecting any majorElden Ringannouncements.
That doesn’t mean anElden RingDLC reveal can’t happen at the event, it’s just unlikely. As it stands, there are persistent rumors that FromSoftware is preparing asizableElden Ringexpansion, but with it being a full year since the game first released, it’s surprising that an official reveal still hasn’t happened. If theElden RingDLC exists and does come out this year as many fans are hoping, it could be an especially big year for FromSoftware.
While theElden RingDLC may or may not exist, fans do know that FromSoftware is in the midst of developingArmored Core 6: Fires of Rubicon.Armored Core 6is not expected to be a Soulslike game, so it’s definitely a gamble on FromSoftware’s part, but it will be interesting to see if it pays off.
Elden Ringis out now for PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X.
