With the highly anticipated release of Elden Ring's Shadow of the Erdtree expansion on 20 June 2024, fans are eager to uncover all the secrets that lie within. Recently, the Entertainment Software Rating Board (ESRB) unveiled its rating for the expansion, shedding light on some intriguing details that have caught the attention of players worldwide.
Malenia, known as the toughest boss in Elden Ring, has been a focal point of discussion among the gaming community. The ESRB Rating for Elden Ring's Shadow of the Erdtree expansion has been categorized as M (Mature 17+), a fitting classification considering the dark and intense themes present in the game.
In the official description provided by ESRB, there is a striking reference to Malenia, Blade of Miquella, whose presence looms large over the world of Elden Ring. The description mentions, "a humanoid monster is depicted partially nude, with scales/scars covering its breast and pelvic regions," hinting at the formidable challenge that players may face when encountering Malenia.
The action-packed role-playing game immerses players in a quest to retrieve a magical ring and ascend to the role of Elden Lord. Armed with a variety of weapons and magical abilities, players engage in intense combat against a myriad of enemies, each more menacing than the last. The game's visceral combat mechanics, coupled with its graphic depictions of gore and bloodshed, create a truly immersive experience for players.
Despite the excitement surrounding Malenia's potential appearance in Shadow of the Erdtree, it seems that the ESRB description may have led fans astray. While fan theories abound regarding Malenia's role in the expansion, it appears that the description provided by ESRB is a direct copy from the base game, leaving room for speculation and anticipation.
As players eagerly await the release of Elden Ring's Shadow of the Erdtree expansion, the question of Malenia's true involvement remains unanswered. Will this enigmatic boss make a dramatic return, or is there more to the story than meets the eye? Only time will tell as fans delve deeper into the mysterious world of Elden Ring.
