Elden Ring Fans Believe Shadow of the Erdtree's 30-Song Soundtrack Hints at DLC Length

As the lands of the Elden Ring prepare to unfold anew, FromSoftware has orchestrated a prelude that resonates with the promise of epic tales. The upcoming DLC, Shadow of the Erdtree, extends the narrative canvas with a musical bounty of over 30 tracks, nearly half as voluminous as the base game's 67 compositions. Set to release on June 21, this soundtrack is a herald of the grandeur awaiting players, suggesting a scale of expansion that could dwarf many standard DLCs.

 

Decoding the Musical Manuscript

The sheer magnitude of the music in 'Shadow of the Erdtree' has sparked a wave of speculation within the gaming community. Esteemed dataminer Sekiro Dubi has proposed a theory that the extensive tracklist could indicate the presence of 15 to 20 new boss battles, a hallmark of FromSoftware’s boss encounters. This level of content has fans buzzing with excitement, suggesting that this isn't just an expansion but a potential Elden Ring 1.5, a content-rich semi-sequel that could stand on its own.

 

A Sounstrack to Surpass the Souls 

The 'Shadow of the Erdtree' soundtrack is a testament to FromSoftware’s commitment to pushing boundaries. It surpasses the track counts of iconic titles like 'Demon's Souls' and 'Dark Souls,' establishing the DLC as a formidable entity in its own right. Director Hidetaka Miyazaki, known for his enigmatic nature, has refrained from revealing the exact dimensions of the new content. However, he has hinted at a map that could potentially exceed the size of Limgrave, promising an adventure that's both vast and immersive.

As anticipation builds, Miyazaki’s playful secrecy only adds to the mystique, leaving players guessing and gearing up for what could be one of the most significant expansions in the legacy of Elden Ring. With a release just on the horizon, the gaming world is poised on the edge of its seats, ready to plunge into a soundtrack—and story—that promises to be as deep and dark as the Erdtree itself.
