Come, ye weary tarnished! has dropped another trailer for its long-awaited Shadow of the Erdtree DLC, which you can go ahead and set your hollowed eyes on right now. Maybe with a pair of shades handy, because everything's a little on fire and I don't want you to hurt your eyes.
The trailer itself—a gorgeous cinematic filled with beautiful character designs, goosebumps-prompting music and glossy 3D renders, details how the "tyranny of Messmer's flame" prompted a war that saw Miquella (of whom ) abandon his "golden flesh, his blinding strength, even his fate. But we are not deterred. We choose to follow."
Several of the [[link]] from the earlier trailer make an appearance here, too, such as the Chinese Lion Dance-inspired freak and the giant burning wicker man—there's a couple of those, actually, marching over the scorched landscape, which makes me very concerned we'll have to fight multiple.
I'm honestly just happy for the enjoyers among us living in a golden age of new details after the well had stayed dry for months. Announced early last year, Shadow of the Erdtree quickly gave rise to a and, well, as the months ticked on with nary a peep from father FromSoftware.
Such was entirely in-keeping with the studio's tight lips, though, the silence only broken almost [[link]] a whole year later when an with a release date, making it all but the sole reason for a . In fact, something similar happened with the base game itself, which took such a merry roundabout route to its later release that "going hollow" became among soulslike enjoyers.
And now we're here with a fresh batch of frames to comb through one-by-one. I'm personally looking forward to all the off-the-wall theories about just what Miquella's motives were before travelling to the Land of Shadow. Maybe they had better wi-fi there, who's to say.
