Elden Ring DLC Introduces Sekiro-Inspired Leveling System

The new DLC, Shadow of the Erdtree, will challenge players with a unique leveling system that prevents steamrolling through the content.

The Shadow of the Erdtree DLC for Elden Ring will feature a leveling system similar to Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice, focusing on 'attack power' instead of traditional leveling.
This new system is designed to provide a fresh challenge for players of all levels, ensuring that even max-level characters cannot easily overpower the new content.
Players will need to defeat minor bosses within the DLC to increase their attack power, encouraging exploration and strategic gameplay.
The DLC is self-contained and accessible to players who have defeated two specific bosses in the base game, Radahn and Mohg.
Elden Ring director Hidetaka Miyazaki emphasizes that this system aims to maintain the game's original feel and challenge for high-level players.
