Bandai Namco announces 'Elden Ring' anniversary event

Bandai Namco Nordics has announced a celebration to celebrate the one-year anniversary of Elden Ring.

Taking to Twitter, the Scandinavian division of Banda Namco invited fans to “save the date”, with the celebration taking place February 25.

“Welcome to the Elden Ring twelve months anniversary celebration in Stockholm,” continued the publisher.

“On February 25, we invite all of you to celebrate with us at Red Bull Gaming Sphere in Stockholm.”

The event, which will be live streamed on Twitch, is set to have a live show, giveaways, contests, exclusive prizes along with a pub quiz, alongside drinks, cosplay along with a PvP event.

However this announcement has led many fans to visualize a comment about downloadable content (DLC) or expansion packs is coming. Sharing the above tweet within the official Elden Ring subreddit, one fan wrote “possible DLC news?” with the accompanying thread attracting over 500 comments discussing more Elden Ring content.

The chance of an expansion to Elden Ring continues to be the subject of much debate recently. In October, dataminers Lance McDonald and Zullie The Witch uncovered proof of new areas and potential ray tracing support in the game's 1.07 patch, while another dataminer discovered cut quests and reserved slots for potential future bosses within the code.

It comes as almost every FromSoftware title has received DLC in one form or another.

Last year, director Hidetaka Miyazaki hinted at further Elden Ring content after winning Game Of The Year at The 2023 Game Awards.

“We have faced some many difficulties while developing this game, in order a director, I'm really relieved. This may 't be the right thing to state on the occasion of receiving this award, but I have already (decided) to produce even more interesting games than that one.”

“As for Elden Ring, we still have several more things we want to achieve this getting this award really, really encourages us,” he added, suggesting plenty more updates soon.

In other news, Fntastic shared new footage of The Day Before the very first time since 2023 yesterday (February 2), but fans weren't impressed.
