(Thethaovanhoa.vn) - Despite being the standout game of 2022, Elden Ring still has much
2022 was undeniably a fantastic year for Hidetaka Miyazaki and his team at FromSoftware as Elden Ring achieved extraordinary success, even clinching the title of the best game of the year. However, this has stirred up concerns about whether the game can maintain its position in 2023. This is particularly valid as Elden Ring stands as one of the most completed games to date, and it has fewer challenges left to explore.
Elden Ring itself made considerable efforts in the late months of 2022 to develop and keep players engaged. Notable improvements include the PvP mode, allowing more players to participate in this feature. This resulted in immediate effects, as the number of Elden Ring players showed no signs of decline, with sales reaching a record-breaking 17.5 million copies. However, 2023 is bound to be a challenging year for Elden Ring, coinciding with the launch of several new blockbuster titles.
The most feasible action for FromSoftware at this current juncture is to release new expansions and DLCs for Elden Ring. Although there is no official confirmation at present, Hidetaka Miyazaki himself admitted at The Game Awards 2022 that he and his team have many plans for this blockbuster. Moreover, astute gamers have noticed that, for the majority of Hidetaka Miyazaki's games, expansions and DLCs tend to be released approximately seven months after the initial game launch, with titles like Dark Souls and Bloodborne serving as prominent examples.
Additionally, another plausible option is for Hidetaka Miyazaki to unveil an entirely new land, possibly the Badlands, after The Lands Between has been successfully explored by players. Badlands, frequently mentioned in the lore, is a place that exists somewhere beyond The Lands Between and has been notably referenced in the storyline. It is at this location that Godfrey, the first Elden Lord, passed away. Opening up a vast new land is likely to leave many Elden Ring players eagerly anticipating the experience.
