The Elden Ring community is back at it again as the community turns anticipation to speculation, and sometimes, playful humor. A Reddit user has humorously speculated about the entry to the second Elden Ring DLC if there even is one.
The game just saw the release of its first, and possibly only DLC in the Shadow of The Erdtree expansion. While it is very likely that this is the only DLC the game gets, fans have been quick to ‘cope’ and speculate for more.
Shadow of the Erdtree Hasn’t Even Been Out One Month and Fans Are Already Coping for the Next DLC
Director Hidetaka Miyazaki has hinted at Shadow of the Erdtree being the final DLC for Elden Ring, though not definitively confirming it. This hasn’t stopped the community from playfully imagining scenarios where they could access additional content, fueling speculation and excitement across forums and social media alike.

Comments on the post further fuel the hilarity, with users concocting elaborate and absurd scenarios for future DLCs. One user joked about fighting a final boss in an ocean of rot, while another speculated on battling Malenia’s soul in Godfrey’s body.
FromSoft‘s approach to DLCs has been historically unpredictable. Fans recall how past games like Dark Souls 3 surprised them with expansions like The Ringed City after initially stating there would be no further DLC. This history adds to the allure of Elden Ring‘s future, keeping hopes alive for more tales from the Lands Between.

Shadow of the Erdtree shows more of Marika’s origins and introduces us to the Land of Shadow. And fans can’t help but wonder about more storylines and new lands that could be explored in a second DLC. The rich lore and vast world of Elden Ring provide ample opportunities for FromSoft to expand.
Will There Ever Be a Second DLC for Elden Ring?
For many players, the appeal of the game lies not only in its challenging gameplay but also in the promise of deep lore. Whether or not a second DLC is released, the world that Elden Ring and the Shadow of The Erdtree have created will forever be beloved.

Despite the humorous tone of these discussions, Miyazaki’s recent statements suggest that there are currently no plans for a second DLC. Similar to previous FromSoftware titles, the future of Elden Ring remains uncertain but open to possibility.
The want of additional content is undeniable, especially given FromSoftware’s track record with DLCs like those for Dark Souls and Bloodborne. These expansions have often expanded the game’s universe significantly, adding new areas, bosses, and lore.
Even if there is never another DLC for Elden Ring, fans will continue to speculate and ‘cope’ for more adventures in the Lands Between.
Do you think there’s another DLC for Elden Ring planned? Let us know in the comments!
