Hidetaka Miyazaki, the director of none other than FromSoftware’s Elden Ring is known for hiding game secrets in the most discrete ways ever known to mankind. He is known to hide the details in plain sight, where no one can find them, and the same appears to be the case with the upcoming Shadow of the Erdtree DLC.
However, fans of the game on social media platforms, such as this particular user on Reddit have begun to point out the most bizarre secret about Elden Ring that Miyazaki may have kept hidden for very long. Listeners of Taylor Swift who have played the game pointed out how a song that came out 4 years ago predicted the events of the title way back.
How Taylor Swift Was Possibly Behind The Inception Of Elden Ring?
As mentioned before, a song that came out nearly 4 years ago, called Ivy, heavily overshadows the details of FromSoftware’s game. This indicates how Hidetaka Miyazaki and other developing heads might have been in contact with her going over the details of the game.
Fans of Taylor Swift and the game alike pointed out how the lyrics of the aforementioned song seem to heavily be influenced by the game. One fine example would be the Ivy climbing walls, which according to fans refers to the Church of Elleh, covered with weeds.
Further diving into the rabbit hole, Swift’s lyrics such as ‘incandescent glow’ and ‘tarnished’ were said to refer to the first time the players meet Ranni the witch, at the Church of Elleh, at midnight.
How The Lyrics Of A Taylor Swift Song Reveal The Release Date Of Shadow Of The Erdtree DLC?
There is no doubt that being Miyazaki’s close friend, Swift must also know about the release date of the much anticipated Shadow of the Erdtree DLC. And after much detective work, fans have finally found out the potential date for the extension.
As mentioned in the beginning, the director of Elden Ring likes to hide the details in plain sight. As a result, players have speculated that the name of the song itself, “Ivy,” must be referring to the Roman numeral letter IV, which stands for 4. This indicates the DLC will come out in April, or the fourth month of this year.
By now, it should be obvious to the reader that this article just gives an insight into how fans are coping with the mystery of Shadow of the Erdtree’s release, and everything remains bizarre speculation as of now.
While much remains disclosed about the coming extension, players have come up with a real speculated time frame during which the DLC should hopefully be released. It is predicted that it will come out in late February, near the game’s second-anniversary celebrations.
Elden Ring is available to purchase on Steam.
