Players will likely encounter Miquella, the brother of the brutal boss Melania, as well as their mother, Queen Marika. The trailer depicts players exploring the Land of Shadow on their faithful steed, Torrent, facing various monstrous foes, including a giant walking brazier, a snake-like creature, and a lion-headed enemy.

Since its initial teaser reveal alongside a teaser trailer last year, anticipation for the DLC has been palpable among Elden Ring enthusiasts.

FromSoftware's silence has only fueled further speculation, despite the game receiving enhancements such as ray tracing and reports of a mobile game spinoff.
