Critical Acclaim & Player Engagement for Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree

There is no doubt that Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree is the best DLC and expansion that has been ever introduced for a video game.

It’s more than just an add-on; it’s a massive expansion that includes new places to explore, challenging enemies to defeat and a plethora of new weapons and spells. The DLC has received praise for its richness, intricacy, and seamless integration with the original game, enriching rather than simply expanding the Elden Ring experience.

The Precedent for DLCs Winning GOTY

Most of the time, the Game of the Year award is given to the full game releases. However, in the past, the DLC for The Witcher 3: Blood and Wine has been praised and awarded. 

Having Shadow of the Erdtree, which is considered to be one of the best when it comes to critics reviews or fan reviews, there is a very good chance that it might win GOTY 2024 this year. However, completely new titles often outperform these expansions, making them rare successes.

Currently, Black Myth Wukong, Astro Bot, Space Marine 2 and Final Fantasy Rebirth 7 are considered to be the best contenders to win GOTY 2024.

Among the fans and gaming communities, there are mixed reactions to it. Some say that comparing an expansion against new IPs or sequels is unreasonable, while others believe its quality and impact on the gaming landscape make it a legitimate challenger.
