New SEO-optimized title: 'Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree Does Not Include Trophies or Achievements'

Tech & AI | June 21, 2024, 8:04 a.m.

The highly anticipated Elden Ring expansion, Shadow of the Erdtree, intentionally lacks PlayStation Trophies or Steam/Xbox Achievements, a departure from the norm for big DLC expansions. Despite offering roughly 25 hours of new content, including exploration and challenging bosses, fans are surprised by the absence of additional digital rewards. FromSoftware, known for its challenging games like Bloodborne and Dark Souls, usually includes Trophies/Achievements in DLC, making Shadow of the Erdtree's lack of them even more unexpected. Players who enjoy Trophy hunting will have to find enjoyment in the expansion itself, as IGN awarded it a perfect 10/10 score. The expansion raises the bar for single-player expansions, condensing the base game's excellence into a compact campaign with new challenges for dedicated fans. Look to IGN's detailed guide for help navigating the expansion's content and ensure you meet the requirements to access it.
