The latest Elden Ring DLC story trailer has been released, and it’s a classic FromSoftware production through and through: epic music, a somber narrator, and dark lore delivered with minimal explanation.
This 3-minute trailer appears to detail the historic conflict instigated by the new villain Messmer, and the response from Miquella, a key character in the DLC who had a more background role in the main game.
There are a few shots in the trailer that hint at potential gameplay elements. Various Rune Arc-like beacons of light are scattered across the landscape, suggesting that players may need to track them down as collectibles in the DLC. “We are not deterred,” proclaims the narrator as a knight examines one of these glowing lights. “We choose to follow. Will you walk with us?”
The trailer also showcases serpent-like creatures impaled on spikes in Messmer’s fiery battleground. A lightning-wielding monster, previously seen in another DLC trailer, appears to be one of the new bosses. It seems these foes were no match for Messmer; players will soon find out how challenging they are to face head-on.
Stay tuned for more updates on this evolving story…
