Furthermore, it seems like Kadokawa’s fortunes with Elden Ring will continue for a while, as dataminers have found evidence of a future DLC in the works.

According to Sekiro Dubi, FromSoftware has reserved 30 codes between 9140 and 9169 that could be used to introduce new bosses in the future.

These events initialize flags & loot for killing bosses. They reserved the slots from 9140 to 9169 for DLC. As you can see there’s even unused boss flags for stuff that was probably cut, like 9102 a boss in Stormveil, or 9124 https://t.co/iedwIH0xq4 pic.twitter.com/jYrq5lqCM5
