Elden Ring players may well have found Miyazaki's secret 'small element' and turns out it's had a clue to the DLC since launch

Hidetaka Miyazaki, president of Fromsoftware.

Elden Ring's Shadow of the Erdtree expansion is due for release in June and, alongside the recent trailer for what the developer says will be its biggest expansion yet, FromSoftware CEO and creative director Hidetaka Miyazaki went on the interview circuit. By far the most intriguing thing he said (well to me at least) was that, despite players poring over every inch of the Lands Between since launch, there remained "a small element that I feel has not yet been discovered."

Putting that in front of the internet sleuths is akin to waving a red rag to a bull, and sure enough Elden Ring's players seem to have delivered. Don't ever expect Miyazaki to confirm whether this is what he was referring to but, as something that arguably couldn't be understood until recently, it's one hell of a candidate.
