They can take the form of extra scenes that take place after the main story, side content with new levels and enemies, or even new armor and equipment for characters. It's a great way for new games to increase their longevity well after they've been released. A great example of DLC is the extra fighters added to Super Smash Bros. What does that mean for Elden Ring? It's already known for its enormous map size. The Lands Between are comprised of six main areas, each littered with enemies and dungeons and castles for players to explore.
