Elden Ring has maintained its hype for over two years since its launch. With the awaited DLC, Shadow of the Erdtree, nearing release, FromSoftware's action-RPG will continue to captivate gamers. This expansion, anticipated to be the largest from the Japanese developer, presents an opportunity for Elden Ring to defy a PlayStation tradition by introducing a novel Platinum trophy tailored for the DLC.

The introduction of Trophies in the mid-2000s revolutionized gaming by offering players digital rewards tied to in-game accomplishments. The inclusion of a Platinum trophy, earned by obtaining all available trophies in a game, motivates completionists to pursue challenging feats for the ultimate prize.

A Robust Trophy List for Shadow of the Erdtree

Historically, FromSoftware has approached DLC trophies diversely. While the Dark Souls trilogy lacked individual expansion trophy lists, Bloodborne provided one. Given the scale of Shadow of the Erdtree, a dedicated trophy list seems fitting. Moreover, introducing a unique Platinum trophy for this highly anticipated DLC could further engage and challenge players.

The Anticipated Toughness of Shadow of the Erdtree

While the exact difficulty of Shadow of the Erdtree remains uncertain, past FromSoftware DLCs suggest players will face intensified challenges compared to the base game. New formidable foes like Messmer the Impaler promise a demanding experience. With potential new quests and mysteries, additional trophies reflecting these accomplishments are likely. Regardless of a Platinum Trophy, Shadow of the Erdtree is poised to mirror Elden Ring's triumph, albeit on a smaller scale, ensuring a high-quality release in June.
