The release of Elden Ring’s Shadow of the Erdtree DLC has been an impeccable journey, with players now finally looking back and realizing Hidetaka Miyazaki delivered exactly what was being asked of him.
There is ultimately some underlying tension between FromSoftware and the fans as the studio decided to skip out on major plot lines from the main game, but that still doesn’t change how it delivered a lot of expected bosses, including a prime Radahn, for the player to fight in the Realm of Shadow.
Elden Ring DLC – Prime Radahn Is Everything Some Were Asking For
There was a lot of amusement and confusion within the community once the final boss for our tarnished journey into the undiscovered realm was revealed.
While the demigod did not have the perfect groundwork laid in the base game like Godwyn the Golden, a prime version of Starscourge Radahn was everything a few fans could have asked for before the release of the DLC.
Replying to a post in the Elden Ring Reddit forum, a user pointed this out fact, calling out the players who have been upset over the choice of the final boss, despite everything now being set in stone and with no way to change what has been done.

There is ultimately not much upset fans can do at this point other than accept their fate and move on. For the inconsolable part of the community, waiting for an official announcement regarding Hidetaka Miyazaki’s next project to drop soon has proven to be an efficient way to cope.
Loose Threads – What Comes Next for FromSoftware’s Best-Selling Franchise
While it might initially have been in deep waters, the Elden Ring DLC still proved to be a huge success for the studio, which makes it even more saddening to know that there will be no more expansions to the game in the future, as stated by the director.
However, fans are now looking forward to a sequel instead, bearing in mind how FromSoftware is unlikely to give up on their best-selling title of all time with just Shadow of the Erdtree to its name.
What helps here is how the base game has a lot of mysteries and loose threads leading nowhere, which can help create the setting for a sequel. This includes the six different endings and maybe even the mysteries of demigods such as the Gloam-Eyed Queen.
