Elden Ring

Elden Ring Guía y cronología

The Lands Between are full of ruined ambitions, disputed inheritances and people still clinging to broken forms of order. Elden Ring sends the Tarnished through that landscape in search of power and an uncertain future. Exploration, demanding combat and stories discovered in fragments give its dark fantasy much of its character.

Begin with Elden Ring. Shadow of the Erdtree is accessed within that playthrough after defeating Starscourge Radahn and Mohg, Lord of Blood. Nightreign is a separate parallel-world game with its own Forsaken Hollows expansion.

You do not have to finish Elden Ring's main ending before entering Shadow of the Erdtree.

Overview & recommendation

The Lands Between are something to explore and interpret rather than a story to solve before playing. The base game establishes that approach and provides the character progression through which its expansion is reached.

Nightreign changes the experience and uses a parallel world. Its expansion attaches to that game, so it should not be confused with the next place to visit after finishing Shadow.

Play the base Elden Ring and add Shadow through its in-game access conditions. Choose Nightreign for its separate experience, checking which game an expansion actually requires before treating every title as one continuous adventure.

The Lands Between, Nightreign and a film interpretation A base-game expansion and separate routes

Game Continuity holds Elden Ring and Shadow. Spin-Off Games holds Nightreign and Forsaken Hollows. The announced film is a separate adaptation, not an available continuation of either playable ending.

  • Game Continuity (2 entries)

    Elden Ring and Shadow of the Erdtree, whose expansion access occurs within the base-game playthrough rather than only after its ending.

  • Spin-Off Games (2 entries)

    Nightreign's separate parallel-world game and its Forsaken Hollows expansion, not a simple sequel after Shadow.

  • Film Adaptation (1 entry)

    The announced live-action film adaptation, a separate future viewing route rather than a game-ending continuation.

The base adventure before its expansion 5 entries

Start with Elden Ring and let exploration establish its world. Access to Shadow depends on particular victories, not on completing every other route in the franchise.
