Call of Duty may fail to become the best-selling game this year according to analysis by American group NPD, because FromSoftware’s Elden Ring was a huge success … and if it expands in terms of content, maybe you will have to look around for the podium next year as well as the game.
Sekiro Dubi used to extract data from FromSoftware games and previously studied the cut missions and colisees of Elden Ring. He has now written about it On Twitter, which found hints of DLC in the game’s files and may have been there for longer than the potential DLC regions recently discovered by Lance McDonald and Zullie the Witch. He also has a theory for this: according to him, you should pay attention to the type of loot the bosses drop after defeating them. These are numbered in the files. We are talking about those between 9100-9135, but then since 9180 the objects that can be obtained from smaller boss fights (Great Arch of Loretta, Sword of the Executioner Marais) have received an identifier.
The suspected gap is in the 34th position between 9140-9169. According to Sekiro Dubi, these are currently unused and are reserved for DLC by the Japanese studio. Either way, he wrote it after update 1.07 released on Monday, but there’s a good chance these were blank numbers since the Elden Ring’s release, while the same can’t be said for the map IDs shown by the Lance / Zullie pair. . He addedthat the studio can change that at any time, but it appears the team has left the thirty identifiers for the DLC and there may be boss fights that don’t get these unused numbers.
It seems logical that there will be DLC, because only Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice missed this opportunity (it’s true, here Activision Blizzard was the publisher, not Bandai Namco or Sony). Bloodborne got The Old Hunters DLC, while Dark Souls III got Ashes of Ariandel at the time, and if the game was so successful, why would Elden Ring miss out on the content expansion?
