FromSoft bossHidetaka Miyazakitold Eurogamer this is the biggest expansion the company has ever worked on.
The announcement comes with a new trailer you might watch below.
Development then began around the time updates and patches for the base game had begun to settle down.
So what can we expect from Shadow of the Erdtree?
FromSoft has also developed its approach to field design.
Previously the divide between field and dungeon areas was quite distinct.
And eight new weapon categories have been added to account for new weapon types.
Expansions for previous FromSoft games are notorious for upping the difficulty - Bloodborne’s The Old Hunters especially.
Miyazaki specifically mentioned the infamous Malenia boss fight - an extremely tough, yet optional battle.
But is Miquella truly that kind?
“In a word, yes,” he said.
“But this was actually a point of introspection for me after creating the base game.
It was only after creating it that I realised I really like to create poisoned swamps.
And this was a little place of introspection and reflection for me.
