We hope you look forward to new adventures in the Lands Between.”

Artwork accompanying the post features a blonde figure riding who is acting like Torrent, the player’s mount.

The world is desolate, full of ghostly apparitions and fog.

A dying Erdtree leans in the background.

Is the blonde figure Miquella, brother to Malenia?

Fans have long suspected that DLC would focus on his story.

It looks like the Erdtree is corrupted too - perhaps by the Haligtree?

But what is this ghostly realm?

Does this take place in Miquella’s dreamworld?

Or might this take place after one of the game’s six endings?

This expansion announcement comes a year after Elden Ring was released.

In that time, it’ssold over 20m copies- a staggering amount.
