We should all be very thankful we never got a rumoured Elden Ring season pass


First reported by the folks over at Twisted Voxel, a hearsay surrounding the long-awaited Elden Ring DLC has emerged. Supposedly, the Elden Ring DLC revealed on Twitter earlier this yr – Shadow of the Erdtree – was to initially launch as a a ‘season cross’ comprised of two DLCs.

ELDEN RING is our precise GOTY, and actually? Nothing else comes shut.

The season cross idea was reportedly scrapped by FromSoftware, which favoured a bigger, single growth within the type of Shadow of the Erdtree. We additionally received a small content material replace within the type of the PvP-focused colosseums replace that landed late final yr, too.

The details about this aborted season cross comes from Discord (through Twisted Voxel), of all locations, but it surely does come from Lance McDonald, who is not any stranger to FromSoftware. You might recognise the title from a large PT file mining operation, or maybe because the man that discovered methods to make Bloodborne even higher.

No matter the place it is coming from, this data needs to be taken with a pinch of salt till FromSoftware confirms it; though, the probabilities of the developer confirming {that a} season cross was as soon as within the works are fairly slim.

Within the Discord messages, McDonald particulars that he doesn’t know when the season cross was cancelled. The colosseums confirmed up at some point free of charge, and that was that. McDonald appears to recommend that FromSoftware was lacking loads of content material, so now just one, mammoth DLC package deal is coming. This is sensible, however once more, we don’t know whether it is essentially true. Possibly extra will probably be revealed once we lastly get to see what Shadows of the Erdtree has to supply.

McDonald additionally notes that it is a related scenario to Bloodborne throughout post-launch; Bloodborne supposedly additionally had two DLC’s deliberate, earlier than the 2 had been merged into one DLC often called The Previous Hunters.

Both approach, if true, that is excellent news for followers. In an trade that’s overflowing with season passes, battle passes, and extra, I don’t actually fancy buying one other. Simply have a look at how Blizzard has been dealing with the service in Diablo Immortal and Overwatch 2 – that is not one thing we wish to see in a FromSoft recreation, now’s it?
