One of the scariest things Elden Ring director Hidetaka Miyazaki's ever said: Shadow of the Erdtree "pushed the envelope in terms of what we think can be withstood by the player"

Elden Ring DLC Shadow of the Erdtree.

FromSoftware games are often noted for their difficulty, and you can bet Elden Ring's Shadow of the Erdtree DLC is no different. Director Hidetaka Miyazaki admits the studio has "pushed the envelope in terms of what we think can be withstood by the player." Well, shit.

Talking to CNET,  Miyazaki explains that boss encounters and the "different kinds of threats" you'll meet exploring the Land of Shadow make up the new challenges the DLC poses.
