Shadow of the Erdtree, the DLC for Elden Ring, is out now and much to no one’s surprise, it’s pretty tough. Even players who’ve already fought their way through the base game multiple times are finding Shadow of the Erdtree to be a considerable challenge, with critics writing that From Software may have finally made a game so difficult it hurts the overall experience. But if you’re hoping that reaction may convince From Software to tone things down for its next release, you may be out of luck, based on what director Hidetaka Miyazaki had to say in a recent interview.
