The time has finally arrived to enter the Realm of Shadow to find Miquella. That's because the Shadow of the Erdtree has finally arrived in Elden Ring. This long-awaited expansion introduces a new chapter to the game.

In this new expansion, players get to head inside the Realm of Shadow and go on a new adventure that's full of danger and mysteries. This new journey has them facing against threating bosses while also discovering new abilities, new gear, new weapons, and even new armor.

Here are some features of the new expansion:
