Praise the Erdtree! An expansion for Elden Ring has finally been confirmed by FromSoftware. It's not much of a surprise…
The other key part of the artwork is the looming tree in the distance. The title of the expansion, Shadow of the Erdtree, would suggest that this is the central Erdtree that dominates the skyline throughout the Lands Between. But if that's the case, what happened to it? Why is it corrupt?
The Erdtree isn't the only tree in the game though. In fact, the game's narrative is really one big family soap opera, and what better symbol than a branching tree? As mentioned above, Miquella and the Haligtree are - literally - intertwined. It's unclear from the artwork if it depicts the Haligtree, but thematically it makes sense.
Lastly, there's The Great Tree. This was a primordial tree that housed a great crucible, generally considered a melting pot of creation. The Aspects of the Crucible Incantations are described as"an aspect of the primordial crucible, in which all life was once blended together". Many fans therefore liken the Erdtree to a parasite invading The Lands Between, absorbing the souls of the dead and taking over the ancient Great Tree.
Lastly, there's the matter of those ghostly gravestones. Elden Ring players will be no stranger to graves or Grave Gloveworts, the flowers used to upgrade Spirit Ashes. But the desolate landscape and sheer number of graves in the artwork perhaps implies some sort of battlefield. But is this somewhere in The Lands Between? Or is this an alternate dream realm? Miquella what did you do?!Of course, Shadow of the Erdtree could be about something else entirely.
If one thing's for sure, judging by previous Soulsborne expansions, you can expect Shadow of the Erdtree to be mighty tough.
