Bonfireside Chat: Shadow of the Erdtree Trailer Reaction
🕑 Added 2024-02-21 21:45:54 +0000 UTCThis morning saw the release of the first trailer for the Shadow of the Erdtree DLC expansion for Elden Ring, and we think it looks pretty neat. So we recorded a little reaction episode and are making it available for everyone to share in the excitement.
In this episode we also discuss our tentative plans for covering the DLC. Since it's releasing on June 21, 2024 and we need to play it before we can structure the season, don't expect in-depth coverage until sometime in July. We will likely put up a first impressions episode shortly after release to tide you over, though.
Bonfireside Chat will return for what appears to be a lengthy season, based on all of the stuff shown in the trailer. The format of the show will likely remain unchanged, and Real Lich Hours will continue its normal release schedule as well.
We're excited to have you along for the ride. Now let's go touch that arm!

What does it mean that the lands between are still fairly bright now that the erdtree is burned. Could there be a sun after all? 🤔🤔🤔

It'll probably depend on how long the DLC is and how long of a wait before we can get episodes rolling. But noted! I like the freedom of open spoilers personally, I just want to do what serves the audience best. -GB

Do y'all have any thoughts on spoiler policy? I know you won't really know until we see how big it is, but just curious if you have expectations. I'm personally hoping for no spoiler wall - I think that serves the show better in the long term.

Excited for this season! Feeling bittersweet- listened to you guys through my last years of college- but very excited. Praise the sun! Umbasa!

I put value in the fact you two don't rush game play.

Who is Messmer?! Why does he have snakes?! Why does he have dragons and flame? It’s fascinating. Is he another side to Miquella? Or a brother? My eggs are in the ‘another sibling’ basket. lol big Fillionore energy.

LET’S GOOOOOO!!! Between this and Real Lich Hours? I’m addicted to the fantasy. Let’s go. This looks YUGE. This looks incredible. This looks MASSIVE. This looks horrifying. This looks violent. I’m soooooo ready.

This is one of the most enjoyable periods in the life cycle of a Souls game: lore theory crafting based on trailers. It’s going to be fun revisiting theories made today on whether Messmer is an empyrean or not.

In the IGN interview Miyazaki confirms there are Malenia-level bosses to provide the challenge, but they're optional. Similar to previous DLCs. So no all bosses scale from Malenia up, lol.

I wondered if ya'll would do a reaction pod, but this was pretty fast.

It’s remarkable the emotional response hearing this intro brings to me for so many years.
