    I don’t think there’s much new info on what’s in the DLC but I found this bit right at the end:

    Finally, the interviewer asks Miyazaki if he would like to make another Elden Ring-sized game, and the answer is a yes. While he is not sure if they will be able to immediately start work on such a game, he would like to. He believes that he is not alone in the development team in wanting to put the experience of working on Elden Ring towards a new game, and more than anything, making a huge world and adventure is fun and exciting to him.

      We also got some lore details that confirmed the DLC takes place in the present and it’s just a different place

      In regards to the DLC’s story being about the past, the interviewer asks if this means that the DLC takes place in the past, and Miyazaki denies this, saying that it takes place in the same timeframe as the main story, and the past of the Land of Shadows and Queen Marika is told in the same way that the history of the Shattering War is told in the main game.

    So I need an existing endgame save for this DLC? Was thinking of doing a fresh run if not.

      Rumor is you need to interact with a certain cocoon in a certain boss room. Wink wink

      According to Vaati, from interviews given to Japanese magazines, the entrance to the DLC is Miquella’s arm coming from the cocoon at the back of Mogwyn palace. So youll likely have to at least get past Mogh, Lord of Blood, to enter.
