Elden Ring’sShadow of the ErdtreeDLC is currently the most-awaited video game media. With less than 24 hours to go, the hype is at fever pitch, and fans are eager to explore the Land of Shadow and track Miquella.
While it’s expected of FromSoftware fans to be at the edge of their seats for the DLC, it seems the anticipation goes beyond just gamers. WithElden Ringhaving inspired spinoff stories in the form of manga, it seems even the creators of these branching stories want to experience the DLC without interruption.
The Road to the Erdtree Mangaka Announces Hiatus for the Launch of theElden Ring DLC
Manga and anime are versatile mediums, able to adapt and showcase almost any and every kind of genre imaginable, and mangaka’s are eager to adapt existing stories. With the story ofElden Ringbeing so expansive and engaging, it was only a matter of time before it was adapted.
TheRoad to the Erdtreemanga was first released in May 2023 by author and artist Nikiichi Tobita andis the first of two manga based onElden Ring‘s world. The adventure follows a Tarnished named Aseo, who is aided by Melina on his quest to reach the Erdtree. However, where the game is more somber, Tobita’s manga is meant to be a comedic experience.

The manga currently has five volumes, with Aseo having reached the arena of Radahn. The comedic tone of the story is a fresh departure from the usual somber setting of FromSoftware’s worlds, but fans of the series will now have to wait longer.

Tobita has stated he will be going on a hiatus whenShadow of the Erdtreereleases. Now, it’s possible that the reason for the hiatus is to experience the expansion and better work in references and story beats into the manga’s storyline. But the more relatable answer is that the mangaka wants to be able to play for hours without worrying about a pending task.
Shadow of the Erdtree Receives Stellar Reviews from Critics
Everyone who has played any amount of the DLC has come away with a glowing review.All reviews, including our own, have highly praised the expansionfor offering not only a great story but also substantial side content that makes the Shadow of the Erdtree feel like a complete game unto itself! It also justifies the expansion file size being larger thanSekiro.

With over 90 new weapons, 10 new bosses, and a map that could be even larger than Limgrave, the expansion is bringing a ton of new content to the base game that fans will love exploring. The new weapons and spells will be of specific importance, as they can be used outside of DLC areas as well.
However, some mechanics, such as the Scadutree Blessing, will only be usable within the DLC. This shouldn’t be an issue, though, as being adequately leveled for the expansion would mean the player is more than capable of handling threats in the Lands Between without needing attack buffs.

Gaming was one of my earliest passions then along came writing, and here we are. I’ve been in the content creation space for several years now and as gamer for even longer. From understanding the complexities of a multilayer narrative to the simply joy of “big gun go boom”, my goal is to capture all the emotions in between and put them down in an engaging manner.
