Elden Ring gets story recap video ahead of Shadow of the Erdtree DLC

This video will help players brush up on the story before starting new content.

Later this month, Bandai Namco returns to the world of Elden Ring with the Shadow of the Erdtree DLC. That’s assuming players never leave Elden Ring, one of the best games of 2022. As of this month, Elden Ring has sold more than 25 million copies, making it the best-selling game in Bandai Namco’s history. However, for those new to the game or those who want a reminder of the story, Bandai Namco has released a new Elden Ring video called “The Journey So Far.”

Game of Thrones creator George RR Martin helped create the background and world of Elden Ring with Hidetaka Miyazaki, and the game has a deep mythology. This video offers a very condensed version of this deep story, including the introduction of the Lands Between and the destruction of the Elden Ring. Additionally, the video briefly revisits the story of the player character Tarnished and her alliance with Malenia. Anyone who has played the game will remember the Tarnished gathering the power necessary to complete his quest, rebuild the Elden Ring, and become the new Elden Lord. If you’re looking for a more comprehensive explanation of the story, here’s a summary we’ve compiled.

In the final moments of the video, players can see a glimpse of future battles in Shadow of the Erdtree. Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree DLC will be released on June 21 on Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5 and PC platforms.
