We only have a few hours left until The Game Awards, and everyone seems pretty excited. Some games will get some awards, we'll see some new trailers and announcements, great. Now, just for funsies, let's check in and see how the Elden Ring community is doing-
...oh dear!

The Elden Ring community is, uh, real fired up right now! They seem to be trying to manifest an Elden Ring DLC trailer or release date, and the fervor for it is reaching one heck of a fever pitch. It's like this on X/Twitter:

I am so confident that Elden Ring DLC will be shown tonight that if it's not, I will marry your mon and become your new stepdad to properly teach you about disappointment.

But the Elden Ring subreddit has a couple wild threads going too, like the person promising to beat Elden Ring with "whatever awful build the top comment suggests" or this person, who is uh...significantly more threatening (and a bit graphic).
My personal favorites though are the folks throwing in a little wish for Bloodborne on PC, as a treat.
So, will we see Elden Ring DLC tonight at The Game Awards? Who knows! We do know for a fact that DLC is being made, as FromSoftware announced the Shadow of the Erdtree DLC way back in February of this year. At the time, all we got by way of a teaser was a (frankly gorgeous) image of a dim, bleeding Erdtree in the distance, while a blonde figure (Miquella??? maybe???) astride Torrent looked on from the middle of a wheat field riddled with ghostly graves. We got a brief update on how things were going last month, when FromSoftware parent Kadokawa said the development was "proceeding smoothly" but did not offer further details. But there's no release window yet, and we haven't even seen a trailer to hint at what such a DLC might entail beyond, well the "shadow of the Erdtree."

Personally, it seems to be like this expansion might still be a ways off. But Elden Ring has appeared at The Game Awards before, and we're coming up on the two-year anniversary of the original game's launch. So maybe all these Elden Ring fanatics are onto something.
Solidarity, Elden Ring fans. I'm forming my summoning circle right here along with you.
