A recentElden Ringdata mining effort may have revealed some details about what the game’s upcoming DLC expansion will entail.Elden Ringlaunched earlier this year to widespread critical acclaim, but many have already wrapped up their adventures in the Lands Between. ManyElden Ringfans are looking for an excuse to return to the game, and are hoping that a DLC announcement is imminent. FromSoftware has yet to announce any officialElden RingDLC, but based on the studio’s previous work, one is likely on the way.
FromSoftware has continuously released updates forElden Ringsince launching the game, fixing bugs, making changes based on fan feedback, and in some cases, even adding new characters and quest lines.Elden Ringupdateshave helped extend the game’s life cycle, but they can only go so far. A properElden RingDLC would be the shot in the arm the game needs to jump back to relevancy, though it remains to be seen when fans can expect to see it and what it might have in store.

A data miner known as Sekiro Dubi on Twitter has been digging through theElden Ringupdate 1.07 filesand has found some interesting things that might point to DLC content. It’s been discovered that there is room for potentially 30 DLC bosses inElden Ring, but fans shouldn’t count on that many bosses in the DLC. Sekiro Dubi has stressed that this just means that 30 slots have been reserved for potential DLC bosses, not that there will actually be 30 bosses in theElden RingDLC.
Other findings include new weapon categories, new dungeons, and themysteriousElden Ringcoliseumsfinally being put to use. It’s long been rumored thatElden RingDLC will have a PvP focus and let players battle it out in the inaccessible arenas, though it’s unclear if that’s what they will actually be used for. The theory has also been posited that these arenas will be used forElden Ringplayers to fight powerful AI-controlled enemies, but again, that’s just speculation.
Nothing official has been announced at the time of this writing, and so fans should take this information with a grain of salt. It’s entirely possible that there will be noElden RingDLCand this information will amount to nothing. That being said, fans may want to tune in to The Game Awards 2022 on December 8 just in case there’s a reveal, asElden Ringannouncements have been made at Geoff Keighley-hosted shows in the past.
