Elden Ring’s Shadow of the Erdtree Expansion: Two-Thirds of Players Face a Challenge
In less than two weeks, Elden Ring fans will have the chance to explore the highly-anticipated expansion, Shadow of the Erdtree. However, Bandai Namco has revealed a daunting statistic – only one-third of players, the Tarnished, will have immediate access to this new area. The remaining two-thirds across all platforms have yet to meet the prerequisites set by the game.
Defeating the Fearsome Bosses
To unlock the Shadow of the Erdtree content, players must first defeat the original game’s optional bosses, Starscourge Radahn and Moog Lord of Blood. The entrance to this new area lies within the withered arm hanging from a cocoon in Moog’s boss fight area. This requirement poses a significant challenge to a majority of Elden Ring players.
According to a recent interview with Elder Ring director Hidetaka Miyazaki, only 38% of Steam players have managed to defeat Moog, leaving 62% unable to access the Shadow of the Erdtree at launch. Similar percentages are observed on PlayStation and Xbox platforms, highlighting the arduous task that awaits those who have yet to overcome Moog.
If players wish to delve into the mysteries of the Shadow of the Erdtree on its June 21st release date, they must swiftly defeat Moog Lord of Blood. This additional hurdle adds an extra layer of challenge and excitement to the Elden Ring experience.
Romance and Adventure in Dragon Age: The Veilguard
Shifting gears to another highly-anticipated title, Dragon Age: The Veilguard promises romance and intrigue for players of all races. BioWare has confirmed that players will have the freedom to romance any companion they desire, regardless of their character’s gender or race. This departure from previous Dragon Age games sparks curiosity and excitement among fans.
Game director Corin Bush reassures players that romance options will be available early on in the game, with opportunities to flirt with companions as they are recruited. However, the true depth of these relationships and romantic encounters will unfold in the later stages, promising riveting storytelling and intimate moments for players to enjoy.
Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater’s Accidental Leak
On a lighter note, GameStop unintentionally leaked a release date for Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater, setting off a wave of excitement and anticipation among fans. The speculated release date of November 17th, coincidentally marking the 20th anniversary of the original Metal Gear Solid 3, piqued the interest of many players.
Despite GameStop’s retraction of the release date, the excitement surrounding Metal Gear Solid Delta remains palpable. As players eagerly await more news from Konami, the accidental leak has only fueled the anticipation for this upcoming installment in the beloved Metal Gear franchise.
As the gaming community eagerly anticipates the release of these exciting titles, the challenges, romance, and intrigue promised by Elden Ring, Dragon Age: The Veilguard, and Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater are sure to captivate players and immerse them in unforgettable adventures.
