Only Starfield and Diablo likely stand in the way of Elden Ring being the biggest game of the year all over again.

Elden Ring won Game of the Year at the 2022 Game Awards Thursday night, but the more interesting thing happened immediately after. No, notwho took the mic at the very end to shout out his rabbi Bill Clinton—FromSoftware lead Hidetaka Miyazaki's acceptance speech. After giving his thanks, Miyazaki said that"As for Elden Ring, we still have several more things we want to do, so getting this GOTY award really really encourages us.

That free PvP DLC is just an appetizer, though, and not the kind you eat too much of and spoil dinner. It's the kind that makes you realize how hungry you are. Not just hungry—starving. If and when FromSoftware announces a proper expansion for Elden Ring next year, the kind singleplayer adventurers can lose themselves in for another 10 or 20 or 30 hours, 17 million players are going to turn up ravenous for it.

Has the most-played, bestselling game of any given year in PC gaming history actually been an expansion for an existing game? Because that could conceivably happen in 2023. There's really just one game standing in Elden Ring's way: Starfield. Elden Ring is big, but it might not quite be Fallout big. Bethesda's Fallout 4 shipped 12 million copies in a day and probably passed 25 million a couple years later. Presumably its audience has only grown in the years since. Starfield had the potential to blow Fallout 4 out of the water; players are primed for it to be the next grand, bigger-than-they-can-possibly-imagine RPG. But Microsoft's acquisition of Bethesda means that Starfield won't be on the PS5.

I think there is going to be whole triple A games that wont want to release their game in the same time as this DLC lol

yeah but it will be probs 2024.

Only if it releases real soon

is infamous hacker ban from dark souls and elden ring servers as youtube channel terminated

I spy Miquella riding Torrent. Wait. Was Miquella Torrents former master?

I'm just looking for excuses to play the game all over again.. Real stoked about the dlc

Of course

Possibly, just like what happened with The Witcher 3 expansion.

It has been less than a year, I want it too but gamers gotta chill and be a lil more reasonable lmao

I do get the fans, but also kinda never understood this mindset. There are other games than Elden Ring, you know?
