The first expansion pack for Elden Ring was recently released. The DLC version, called Shadow of the Erdtree, has received great acclaim in a short time. According to this, The Witcher 3 DLC surpassed Blood and Wine. The review scores, on the other hand, caused players to get into each other.
Elden Ring Shadow of the Erdtree is the best DLC of all time
Elden Ring Shadow of the Erdtree received a score of 95 on Metacritic. This makes Shadow of the Erdtree the highest rated DLC of all time. The previous leader was The Witcher 3’s Blood and Wine expansion, which had a score of 92.
Shadow of the Erdtree offers a map the size of Elden Ring’s Limgrave and Liurnia regions combined. However, it promises players much more advanced level design and vertical structuring. Players will discover hundreds of new weapons, armor and spells.
The DLC also includes many enemies like Remembrance and more than 30 minor enemy characters. Especially the main enemies are said to return in the expansion pack. This means that they can appear in new areas at any time.
According to user comments, Shadow of the Erdtree features a more character-driven story compared to Elden Ring’s environmental storytelling. Players enjoyed the expansion with more than seven quests that connect to the overall story.
With its expansive map, challenging battles, and engaging story, Shadow of the Erdtree currently leads as the highest rated DLC. It remains to be seen whether Blood and Wine, which came out years ago, will follow suit.
