Shadow of the Erdtree is still a few months away but Elden Ring fans are still jonesing for more which resulted in installing unofficial expansions and mods to quench their thirst for more content. Modding is a part of the gaming community, throughout the years players have gotten quite creative by adding original content to the source codes of games but sometimes they end up butchering the masterpiece.
Elden Ring has a loyal community and modders are restlessly working on adding features that could both make the game easier and more difficult than it already is. Modders have taken the matter into their own hands and produced several mods that will enhance the gameplay performance for those who are seeking a more challenging experience.
Elden Ring Mods Has Fans Excited for Shadow of the Erdtree Expansion
Among the listed mods is called the Unofficial Expansion, which features enhancements with new cosmetic armor, maps, and even borrowed gameplay mechanics from fellow FromSoftware title, Bloodborne, fans will be able to explore new map regions and discover new lore just from this mod alone which could render hours and hours of gameplay.
It is a thoughtful move by modders to reintegrate previous mechanics and utilize them for the latest installment, perhaps developers could learn a thing or two from these creative fans. Another mod that has more to do with convenience while in the middle of a fight is the ability to pause, a missing feature from almost every Soulslike game that FromSoftware has produced with Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice as the exception, to have a more immersive playthrough and to show how truly difficult their games are and there is no rest for the weary.
Elden Ring DLC Has A Lot To Prove
Creating a perfect game is no easy feat, let alone developing added content that could make the game even better or worse, surely the creators are aware of the stakes and worked hard to ensure that Shadow of the Erdtree is a worthy expansion to the already great Elden Ring. Being the largest downloadable content the studio has ever put out, FromSoftware is firing on all cylinders and pouring its heart out for a sizable addition to the world and lore.
Players can do incredible things with their spare time, the amount of content that they were able to produce for Elden Ring alone is astounding. From gameplay improvements, cosmetics, weapons, areas for exploration and even breaking the fourth wall by including other entities from certain games for both comedic effect and appreciation, the possibilities are endless with these wizards and maybe could be an asset someday.
Shadow of the Erdtree is still a few months away but in the meantime, players can dive back in and use these mods to prepare themselves before the official expansion. What are your thoughts about modding and are you excited for the Elden Ring DLC? Let us know in the comments below!
