FROMSOFTWARE has just announced that Elden Ring has hit a major new sales milestone on their twitter account
In a tweet on the FROMSOFTWARE account we have just learned that 2022 Game of the Year Elden Ring has surpassed the 25 million unit sales mark.
Elden Ring has its first and only expansion, Shadow of the Erdtree releasing this month on June 21st, 2024. Back at launch we reviewed the game, scoring it a 9.8 and stating:
“Elden Ring is a masterpiece of a title, with only a few minor issues. The co-op summon system is a pain, and mounted combat doesn’t always feel the best. Other than that this game is staggeringly good in every single area. It does for open-world games what people claimed Breath of the Wild did. Every part of the experience is elevated by an insane attention to detail. Few games have ever left me feeling so enthralled for the entirety of my playtime. Whether you’re going it solo or with a friend Elden Ring is one guaranteed to be one hell of a time.”
Shadow of the Erdtree is described as:
“The Land of Shadow.
A place obscured by the Erdtree.
Where the goddess Marika first set foot.
A land purged in an unsung battle.
Set ablaze by Messmer’s flame.
It was to this land that Miquella departed.
Divesting himself of his flesh, his strength, his lineage.
Of all things Golden.
And now Miquella awaits the return of his promised Lord.
ELDEN RING, winner of hundreds of accolades including The Game Awards’ “Game of the Year” and Golden Joystick Awards’ “Ultimate Game of the Year,” is bringing a new adventure to the Tarnished in the Lands Between. ELDEN RING Shadow of the Erdtree DLC is FromSoftware’s largest expansion to date, where players must unravel the hidden mystery of the world from the acclaimed fantasy action RPG.
A New Story
Guided by Empyrean Miquella, players are beckoned to the Land of Shadow, a place obscured by the Erdtree where the goddess Marika first set foot. In these strange new lands, players discover the dark secrets of the world as they meet others who follow in Miquella’s footsteps with ulterior motives.
Exploring a Familiar World Full of New Secrets
ELDEN RING Shadow of the Erdtree takes players beyond the Lands Between to explore the Land of Shadow, a completely new world from ELDEN RING. Players can seamlessly travel back and forth between its vast maps interspersed with diverse situations and meticulous dungeons where menacing enemies roam.
A Further-deepened RPG
Shadow of the Erdtree adds new weapons, equipment, weapon skills and magic not found in the base game ELDEN RING, along with new enemies, boss encounters and plotlines to further increase players’ RPG freedom. Take on the threat with the new powers you can acquire.”
