The Game Awards 2024 shakes things up by including DLCs, expansion packs, and remakes/remasters in all categories, potentially allowing a DLC to win Game of the Year. This decision, announced just hours before the nominee reveal on December 12th, sparks debate among fans and critics alike.
Prepare to return to the Lands Between with Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree, the highly anticipated expansion for the award-winning Game of the Year. Launching on June 21, Shadow of the Erdtree offers more of the same atmospheric exploration, challenging bosses, and rewarding gameplay that made the original a masterpiece. Players will need to have defeated Starscourage Radahn and Mohg, Lord of Blood to access the expansion, which boasts over 100 new weapons, including the Fire Knight’s Keen Greatsword. Discover hidden Scadutree Fragments and Revered Spirit Ash to enhance your abilities within the Realm of Shadow, but be aware that these bonuses do not carry over to the main game. Confront formidable foes in the arachnid-infested Belurat Castle and face off against the graceful yet deadly Divine Dancing Lion. Venture to Castle Ensis, where the Swordswomen Rellana will test your mettle with her Malenia-like abilities. Despite the challenges, Shadow of the Erdtree provides the same exhilarating sense of triumph that has made Elden Ring an unforgettable experience.
