Elden Ring will only get one DLC in Shadow of the Erdtree, but FromSoftware isn't ruling out a full sequel for the RPG
Shadow of the Erdtree will be the beginning of the end
Honestly, good. Games getting several years of extremely delayed paid DLC expansions usually just results in the fanbase drifting away and only a tiny slice of people actually coming back to experience said DLC. Do as much as you can in one go and then move on.
I don't need Elden Ring 2 any time soon, personally, but I'm sure that it'll happen eventually.

Yeah, makes sense
A sequel seems very possible, though I wonder if we get it anytime soon. Elden Ring 2 is the kind of game you could announce a decade from now and still have people going crazy over it

The first one was a letdown for sure (the sister friede three phase boss doesn't save it). The Ringed City expansion was a big improvement.
Wonder what the reaction will be if a sequel pulls a Tears of the Kingdom and reuses most of the first game's world (but with some new stuff too obviously). I wouldn't mind honestly
TBH my theory is that they've been working on ER2 in tandem with the DLC. I imagine they don't want another 6-7 year wait for another one.
Knowing From I doubt this would happen, just look at the DLC's trailer.
I would mind. I don't want that. From Software, if you're reading this, don't do that! Thank you!
I think he made the same kind of statment about Elden Ring a bit ago, which was the same kind of statement in regards to Dark Souls 4.
That is, if someone else in the company steps up to do a sequel like Dark Souls 4 or Elden Ring 2, they are free to do so if they got the ideas to do so.
I got the impression Miyazaki will do his own thing and leave any of these sequels to any ambitious dev who's got the passion to do so. I think most of the up and coming talent there is on the boat of doing new stuff.

*Miyazaki writes Elden Ring on a whiteboard and then a big "S" before putting 2 lines through to make a dollar sign*
Elden Ring 1 already uses too much of Elden Rings World. Honestly even everyone that has loved the game that i've talked to was kinda sick of the open world by the time they got the the last zone.
That would make no sense. It worked in TotK because the game's a sandbox that introduced different tools to create a different gameplay experience from BotW. Elden Ring 2 can't be as radically different as TotK because people want and expect another Souls game.
pretty much what I think. if there's ever an ER 2, it's going to be with other devs in From and it might take a while
This seems like it'll be a massive expansion, and we'll be happily playing ER for years to come anyway.
I don't see them releasing another major ARPG on the scale of Elden Ring until 2028-2030. I'd much rather them focus on creating new IP, which is probably what they'll do this gen. FromSoftware can really call their own shots now, hyped to see what's next.

I would prefer sequels to Sekiro or Bloodborne, as Elden Ring is already Demon's Souls 5 for me when it comes to gameplay and aesthetics. AC7 would be great too. I will play anything FromSoftware anyway.
DS1 only got 1, DS2 got 3 (even after saying they had no plans for DLC before launch), Bloodborne was supposed to have 2, they combined it into one. DS3's first DLC was pretty underwhelming, but Ringed City was awesome. Sekiro never got one, outside the boss rush.
I never expected more than one DLC for Elden Ring, especially considering how long it's taken.
There's not really a solid precedent for From doing more than one DLC in a game. It's happened, but it's certainly not the norm.

I'd rather they changed the setting for the next one.
I don't mind if it plays exactly the same, I just want something new to get lost in, you know? Something totally different.

They could and arguably should have just taken another year and plastered an elden ring 2 sticker on the box, yeah. If they need to start over from 0 now we're looking at a long long wait.
A sequel where the canonical ending of the first game has devastating consequences on the world forcing a brave few to retaliate against your tyranny is an interesting premise. Your character would be attempting to undo what you accomplished in the first game.
From has done this before in a way, where a boss is either another player or version of a previous character you played as, right?

If the sequel has visuals closer to PS5 Demon's Souls it will be such an upgrade it wouldn't bother me one bit
I wasn't sick of it, but also didn't scrape for content. I think its like any other open world game where you're going to get tired of what it has to offer the closer you get to 100 percenting it. At the same time Elden Ring while it did have a lot of reused enemies etc, still had far more overall unique level design and enemy types (Unique encounters and challenges) than any other Open World game I can think of, at least at this kind of massive scale.
They're now in the position of being able to build from this, expand on what worked and change the parts that didn't work as well. They clearly are interested in how the wider audience perceives their games considering some of the choices in this game making it more accessible than before.
