Much like developer FromSoftware, Elden Ring publisher Bandai Namco is all-in on Shadow of the Erdtree. Unlike FromSoftware – specifically the studio's president, Hidetaka Miyazaki, who famously reckoned the DLC is "probably" bigger than Limgrave – Bandai's very loudly arguing that the impending Elden Ring DLC is about as big as a new game.
Speaking with GamesIndustry, Bandai Namco Europe chief marketing and sales officer Anthony Marace described Shadow of the Erdtree as "the largest FromSoftware [expansion] ever crafted, transcending the traditional scope of downloadable content." More to the point, Marace says the DLC "rivals the scope of a standalone game."
