The Lands Between are surrounded by a sea of fog, separating them from the entirety ofElden Ring’s world. There are certainly other locations out there, but this fog does two things well. First, it creates a mystery about the rest of the world, as the edges ofElden Ring’s mapdepict these fog clouds that cover the sea and beyond. Secondly, it’s a good frame to keep players guessing at the world size as they seek to uncover it.
Farum Azulais a good example, as it comes across as one of the most surprising additions to the map in the game. It’s where story, gameplay, and map design come together flawlessly. But the general fog, nonetheless, gives the world shape. One cloud of fog is suspicious, as it seems random in regard to the other fog on the map. Really, it looks like it could be hiding a piece of Elden Ring DLC.

Elden Ring Map: DLC and Fog
In roughly the center of the map—north of Limgrave, South of Leyndell, and East of Liurnia is a cloud of fog. It plays no role in giving the world shape, instead just acting as filler for this area of the map. That’s not really the game’s style, though, and on its own, it seems like it could be hiding something.
Furthermore, Redditor Dvoraxx recently pointed out that thiscloud is the midway point for all the Divine Towers inElden Ring. That could seemingly suggest something is meant to be there. Those who have modified the game to look at this area found a square shape in the water, but nothing of real content. It’s suspicious, as it could mean something was intended to be there.
What This Elden Ring DLC Could Be
Some lore could explain this, asthe Elden Stars spellsuggests that a golden star “bearing a beast” once crashed into the Lands Between, and from it the Elden Ring was crafted. Exploring the origins of theElden Ring, as well as the beast that came alongside it, would be interesting, and this square could be a temple of some sort built around this site. It could be underwater, and if that is the case, it could likely be brought out of it.
There arerumors that anElden RingPvP Arena DLCcould be in the works, and perhaps it all ties together. It was accessible in Limgrave, though only through certain modifications, but again, Limegrave’s Divine Tower is not far from this location on the map. While a PvP arena on its own is a fun idea, it would be interesting if there was more of a story and lore reason for Tarnished to combat other Tarnished, potentially tying back to this beast or the creation of the Elden Ring.
Even if these were separate DLC, it seems safe to say fans want moreElden Ring. It’s already Game of the Year to many folks, and while it has no shortage of content, all good things come to an end. MoreElden Ringwould definitely not be a bad thing.
Elden Ringis available for PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X.
