ELDEN RING: Shadow of the Erdtree Edition

ELDEN RING is FromSoftware's open-world game, built on the combat and structure of the Dark Souls series with worldbuilding contributed by George R. R. Martin. You play a Tarnished, returned to the Lands Between to gather the shards of the Elden Ring and become Elden Lord. What the open world changes is that a wall is no longer a wall. A boss you cannot beat can be left for later while you ride Torrent somewhere else, find a weapon that suits you better, and come back at a level the fight was not designed for. Underneath it the systems are familiar: stamina-based combat, flexible stat and weapon scaling, spirit summons, ashes of war, and legacy dungeons as dense and vertical as anything the studio has built. Co-op allows two summoned allies at a time, and PvP runs through invasions, duels and the Colosseum. The Shadow of the Erdtree expansion added the Land of Shadow, a large late-game region. It won Game of the Year in 2022. This edition bundles the base game with the Shadow of the Erdtree expansion, which adds the Land of Shadow with its own bosses, weapons and a separate upgrade system. Stocked as a Steam code only.
