Shadow of the Erdtree has finally been revealed with a brand new Gameplay trailer, which promises to massively expand Elden Ring's base game

In this video we will be doing an in-depth Lore Breakdown and analysis of the lore contained within. From Messmer to Miquella, I will speculate and predict how the story will go and what lore elements we can expect by tying it back to the Elden Ring base game.

Editor: Creators Studio - creatorsstudio.co.uk

Intro: 0:00
Miquella & Lands of Shadow: 1:23
Messmer the Impaler: 22:02
Shadow of the Erdtree: 38:08

From the Bandai Namco Website: Guided by Miquella, players embark on a new adventure into the Land of Shadow, a world full of dark secrets hidden behind the prosperity of the Golden Order brought upon by Marika.
