Hidetaka Miyazaki on several instances has been called the master of foreshadowing, as it is something he has done over time with his releases including the Dark Soul series and his latest title, Elden Ring. What the renowned director has lined up for himself is the release of Shadow of the Erdtree DLC to be released soon, and fans believe it might not be where the game’s storyline comes to an end.
Players who know deeply about Elden Ring’s storyline would know how it has a lot of cliffhangers and mysteries for the fans to solve. These open endings also hold the potential to eventually become DLC for the game, but it would be wiser to focus on what direction Miyazaki might aim for if he decides to come up with more after Shadow of the Erdtree.
How Hidetaka Miyazaki Might Potentially Explore More Worlds In Future Elden Ring DLCs
It has been revealed already how in the coming Shadow of the Erdtreee DLC we will get to witness the journey of our tarnished character into the Land of Shadow, a new area that was never explored before in the main game. Bearing in mind how exploring other realms can become a recurring theme, Hidetaka Miyazaki might have already dropped a few hints in the game indicating where we might be headed in the future.
As the players would know, it has been revealed in the game how Godfrey, the first Elden Lord hails from a place called the Badlands. Furthermore, the starting class of Samurai has been described as originating from a place called the Land of Reeds.
All these realms that are only hinted at but are never really talked about in the game hold the chance to become the center of attention for the next DLC. Likewise, FromSoftware is most likely to opt for sending the players to explore the aforementioned Badlands next considering how it would allow them to focus on the character of Godfrey.
What Allowed Elden Ring To Become The Perfect Game With An Outstanding Storyline
While many like to credit Miyazaki for his work on Elden Ring, some might not know how it was also the contribution of none other than George RR Martin, the writer of the popular Game of Thrones books, that resulted in the success of the title. The writer was responsible for creating the backstory dating back to 5000 years from the current events of the game, essentially allowing him to come up with the whole backstory for the game.
Hidetaka Miyazaki via IGN has additionally revealed how allowing Martin to create a story not relating to the occurring events of the game ultimately granted him full creative freedom to go all out and use all his potential in coming up with a story that would make the game different than other Soulsborne titles.
Elden Ring is available to purchase on Steam.
