The official Elden Ring account posted a cryptic new message which created immediate speculation about upcoming content. The Night has to end through the process of “sacrilege” and “a loathsome hunger” which the tweet describes in poetic language. The game’s dedicated community has erupted into a frenzy of theories and demands based on this poetic tweet. The players analyze every word of this mysterious teaser to find hints about a possible second DLC and major update while they use this moment to express their extensive list of desired game improvements and new features.
The official account establishes this particular atmosphere through its content. “Beneath a sky of clouds, a loathsome hunger churns. The Night ends through the cost of sacrilege.” The hashtags which follow include #ELDENRING and #NIGHTREIGN. The presentation contains nothing beyond its existing content. The presentation consists of FromSoftware mystique which remains unidentified. The attached image shows grimdark artwork which lore nerds are already pixel-peeping.
The reaction created a situation which people expected to become chaotic. The situation created two types of chaos which people usually experience “oooh spooky” and “oooh spooky” kind of experience. The players opened the floodgates to express everything they had wanted to shout at Bandai Namco for the past several months. The replies contain three different types of responses which include excitement and uncertainty plus a complete list of their requirements.
The hype crew represents the initial group. User Dizzaract just yelled “Nightreign brewing? Tarnished locked in!” which is a whole mood. Another user ItsJimbooSlice uses “DLC INCOMING” to tag a content creator while showing future knowledge of things to come. TheBoyDevv declared his love for Elden Ring through his study of the game “Elden Ring I love you 🫶 (Please say it back 🥺).” The situation is something people can relate to.
The community managers opened a suggestion box which immediately caught fire when you scroll down the page. The demands are flying. The demands keep coming at us nonstop. The players decided to state their actual demands after reading the tweet.
The replies contain requests for in-game content which users believe belongs to the Shadow of the Erdtree DLC but remains incomplete. Users like Black_Plague_9 and Faurtis request “Add SotE weapons pls” while Faurtis asks “Where are the DLC weapons??? The users want “Everdark” versions of the bosses Heolstor and Dreglord. User Altus_20 dropped a whole paragraph list that included those bosses, SotE weapons, changing a points system, adding merchant items, and straight-up removing certain skills and a character named Wylder from the “deep of the night” mode. The bro showed up with a prepared agenda.
The situation keeps on going because. Crossplay receives high demand from avsrys who wanted to see it added alongside the SotE weapons and Everdark bosses. User knockthebitch wants more relic slots because he wants to buy those slots. VictorChev41i3r has a very specific request for the Revenant summon to get a special FP-stealing attack because “SHE NEEDS IT.” Sael_2002 demands “Fix your damn map” which people found to be an accurate representation of their emotions.
The elements of existence define the present situation. The situation has two types of really funny elements. The ultimate meme which Aaron Clover created shows that “We need Elden Ring battle royale and battle pass, speaking for everyone.” He claims to represent all people. The user ggalindo23 wants them to “Stop this silliness snd give us ED Heolstor and Dreglord altready” which creates a specific vibe. Devkotonono started a philosophical conversation through his poetic rebuttal which shows how sacrilege creates permanent nighttime.
Some of the replies contain non-English text yet people understand the same sentiment throughout all languages. User Nusaibaii asked in Arabic for “a quote for the swordsman,” while Manal_972 demanded (in Arabic) they “release depths six, seven, eight, nine, and ten, let’s go!” The need for additional content exists on every continent.
The crazy snapshot shows how Elden Ring players currently experience their situation. The group shows two main characteristics because they need fresh news and will analyze any mysterious tweet to create comprehensive theories about Miquella, the Night, and the meaning of “sacrilege.” The lore researchers are currently working. The players have strong opinions about game balance and unreleased weapons and quality-of-life improvements. The tweet served as a teaser which attracted every player thought that had built up since Shadow of the Erdtree release.
