It was on February 25, 2022 that Xbox, Playstation and PC players were able to discover the long-awaited Elden Ring. Supposed to condense the best of FromSoftware productions in an open world adventure, the title was an immediate success. Acclaimed by critics, acclaimed by players, it even managed to reconcile with the genre some of the refractory to the difficulty of the studio’s previous games. A year later, crowned with the title of GOTY and with 17.5 million copies sold, Elden Ring is preparing to celebrate its anniversary during a celebration in Stockholm.
An event live from Stockholm and broadcast on Twitch
This celebration announced on Twitter by Bandai Namco will therefore take place on February 25 at the Red Bull Gaming Sphere in Stockholm. Broadcast live on Twitch, this event will bring together fans of the game around a live show that will include quizzes, cosplays and prizes to be won. The precise program is not yet known, but the game publisher promises more information very soon. If that’s all we know officially, on the sidelines of this announcement, some are already beginning to speculate on the content of the event.
On Reddit and Twitter, players were able to share their findings on FromSoftware’s RPG Steam page. We indeed discover that the various options for purchasing the game on the Valve platform have recently been updated. These are currently encrypted and inaccessible to the public, except this has happened only twice before with regard to Elden Ring. The first time shortly before the release of the game and the second a few months ago before the appearance of the PVP arenas.
Hopes of a DLC announcement for Elden Ring revived
It was therefore enough for fans to start imagining a scenario in which FromSoftware and Bandai Namco take advantage of the upcoming event to lift the veil on at least one DLC for Elden Ring. It must be said that with the exception of Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice, all of the studio’s recent titles have benefited from an extension and that given the success of the GOTY 2022, there would be nothing surprising in that he has the right to the same treatment.
However, if the update on the game’s steam page seems to indicate that a new version of the game might be made available, it’s better to hold on and wait for more information. Remember that FromSoftware is hard at work on Armored Core VI: Fires of Rubicon which should be released by the end of the year. Nonetheless, we’ll be keeping an eye out for future announcements around the game and we’re sure all of its fans are ready to return to the Underworld.
