Does Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree have new unlockable trophies and achievements? Here's what emerged at the launch

Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree is available from today and this also allows you to have a definitive answer on the presence or absence of unlockable trophies and objectives inside.

Until today there was doubt as to whether Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree could contain new PlayStation trophies and Xbox and Steam achievements , but with the official launch of the maxi-expansion by FromSoftware the thing is now clear and the answer is: no, the DLC does not contain additional trophies or objectives.

It is, in fact, a feature in line with the tradition of the expansions published by FromSoftware , which usually do not add elements on this front and, even in this case, the tradition is confirmed with the absence of any additional unlockable element compared to those already present in the base game.

This is obviously a marginal shortcoming, but it can have a certain importance for those who are particularly immersed in trophy and achievement hunting, which is much more widespread than one might think, so for many players this could be a partial disappointment.

A great expansion but without any other unlockables

In fact, considering the generous size of this expansion, probably one of the largest ever developed by the team, the inclusion of such features would not have been entirely out of place.

In any case, the situation is this: exploring the new content will not lead to any increase in trophies or the general Gamerscore.

On the other hand, historically these games rely on something else to push users to move forward, although we imagine that the additional satisfaction of an official recognition of some achievements could have been appreciated by many players.
