The DLC, titled Shadow Of The Erdtree, will take players to a new and mysterious region of the world, where they will face new challenges, enemies, and secrets.

The trailer also featured some of the new weapons, equipment, magic, and enemies that players will encounter in the DLC, as well as a hint of the new story and characters.
According to the official description, Shadow Of The Erdtree will be FromSoftware's largest expansion to date, offering a further-deepened RPG experience with more freedom and customization options.

The DLC will also have a collector's edition that will include a physical copy of the DLC, a steelbook case, an art book, a soundtrack CD, and a figurine of Miquella, the Empyrean who guides the player in the DLC.
