Elden Ring Players Surge with Shadow of the Erdtree Release
FromSoftware, once known for their niche titles, has become a blockbuster game developer, and the release of their latest DLC for Elden Ring only further solidifies this.
The launch of Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree, a story expansion for one of 2022's biggest gaming triumphs, drew players back to the Lands Between in droves. SteamDB reports a massive influx of 589,948 concurrent players following the DLC's release, a number that may continue to climb.
Early reviews from critics have praised Shadow of the Erdtree, highlighting its challenging new bosses, intriguing locations, and overall excellence as one of FromSoftware's best works yet. However, a Eurogamer reviewer expressed some reservations, noting that the difficulty may have been pushed a bit too far by the developers.
