Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree Image Showcases New Character

The character seemingly appeared in the recent story trailer and seeks Miquella, who has mysteriously entered the Land of Shadow.

FromSoftware has tweeted a new image for Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree, revealing a new character. Wielding a sword in one hand and a Dark Souls 2-esque helm in the other, they ask, “Will you walk with us?”

While there isn’t any other information, some have pointed out similarities, right down to dialogue, to a character from the recent story trailer. They’re kneeling before a bonfire, possibly narrating the trailer and maybe leading the other surrounding characters. Whether they’re friendly or hostile remains to be seen.

Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree launches on June 21st for Xbox Series X/S, PS5, PS4, Xbox One, and PC. As FromSoftware’s largest expansion to date, it sees players venturing to the Land of Shadow after Miquella, battling new bosses – including the dreaded Messmer the Impaler – and uncovering its secrets.

The land is touted as larger than Limgrave and even has a “level-up” system to allow players to increase their power. Head here for more details.
