Kadokawa Considering “Number of Measures” to Help Gamers Continue Playing Elden Ring

elden ring down

While Elden Ring is a massive game, a lot of players have already finished the main quest, which shouldn’t be surprising given how long it’s been out in the market. Based on FromSoftware parent company Kadokawa’s latest financial reports, it seems some type of Elden Ring DLC is being considered.

In Kadokawa’s quarterly earnings report where the company mentioned that Elden Ring shattered expectations in sales given it has sold 13.4 million units, with the original target just being four million, it also mentioned that they are working on ways for player retention for Elden Ring (question 11).

Q: What is the forecast sales and copies shipped for ELDEN RING for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2023?

A: We do not disclose forecasts regarding sales and number of copies shipped for individual titles. We are considering a number of
measures to help customers continue to enjoy this title.

Does this mean that Elden Ring DLC is incoming? I wouldn’t be shocked if that was the plan. Either that or in-game events, or free title updates that bring in new missions, bosses and more. Perhaps we’ll see more of the cut content that was dug up recently?

If we do get Elden Ring DLC, what do you want to FromSoftware focus on? Let us know down in the comments.

More likely, the truth of the matter is that your skill is lacking. Have you tried getting good?

This is a maidenless virgin take. PvP is crazy laggy.

Laggy is due to your maidenless internet

Nah it does suck, you got guys hanging out with two or more mates waiting to ambush invaders, how is that PvP? You got others who run away until you either catch them or give up (or they suprise you when you think they are still running and hiding…) No skill involved there is there.

Would be nice if they added a craft weapon system with blueprints found or bought throughout the map, maybe some limited to bosses etc. Would be nice to craft a high tier fire sword, then do the same sword as poison or bleed etc for the other hand. Maybe a armour crafting system too.

Tweak the clothing customisation to allow for changing of resistance, more style tweaks beyond a cape or not 😂.

Fix the damn wannabe horse, it’s among the most dreadful things I ever rode on in a game, the amount of times I have fell off a cliff because the clunky controls…

Give it some armour and /or customisation options.

Would be nice if you build out weapon awakenings, like the evolved form of a maxed out weapon on all unique weapons with an individual side quest per unique weapon.

Maybe do Raid bosses that can be challenged once a day.

Domination type PVP where it can be a war type mode to take over a castle.

We can go all day with these…

For the evolved weapons, maybe an evolution to its unique skill too

i would absolutely love to see Elden Ring incorporate their own pvp battle maps and mods, like in world of warcraft capture the flag, would be amazing to see in Elden Ring, would give players a chance to keep playing

I feel they should improve the multiplayer. I think that you should be able to stay past boss leave when ready or if made to by other player and not lose half your stuff when summoned ..elden ring is now my favorite game of all time minus the little multiplayer things would love a dlc to continue exploring the game

Open those coliseums for like a boss rush. Like each time you traverse the mist it’ll be a different boss. Anything from the Elden Beast to the Grafted Scicon. It’s random each time.

There’s so many items to equip and try. I would like to be able to mark my favorite items and there’s all grouped up at the top for easy access. Especially for pvp to be able to hot swap in mid battle more easily.. even in PvE it’s annoying to look at my through my list as I always pass up

what I’m looking for..

I would like to see more faith based weapons, and a bit more content regarding madness and frenzy spells. I think the Frenzied Flame ending is awesome, and they put a lot of work into it, but a pure frenzied flame build isn’t easy when the only weapon in the game that does madness buildup is slow, ugly, and weak. I’d like to see a frenzy armament incantation, maybe some more melee based spells, and some more faith based weapons, faster/lighter ones specifically. The Grafted Dragon and Sword of Night and Flame are great, but a katana with madness building and the unsheath ability would be awesome. I’m thinking something like Moonveil with the beam, but builds madness.

If you’re talking about that heavy spear, it is not weak. The problem with madness for me is it’s basically useless in pve, the status itself. Make it work on some enemies and minibosses

I would like to see some gladiatorial/pvp use of the giant colosseums that are all over the map

Gauntlet are like Crucible area in Darksiders game, where it would get progressively harder as you go through the levels…allow for Multiplayer for it as well. Allow for weapon build up.

Reward with exclusive weapons/ armor sets that when you wear in co-op or PVp …other players know you ARE a CHAMPION!;

The Bromancing of Gideon Ofnir, by the glorious Kenneth Haight. It could be everything you imagined.

There’s so much content In the game, literally all they have to do is announce some dlc or do a roadmap. Players will come back. I think better multiplayer would be nice. I honestly wish they put a way for friends to join you without summoning them like borderlands, the world is so huge, I think it could work with invasions and everything.
