Elden Ring's 'Shadow Of The Erdtree' DLC Sells 5 Million Copies: Creator Open To Movie Adaptation
The highly anticipated "Shadow of the Erdtree" expansion for Elden Ring has sold five million copies within just three days of its release.
《埃爾登環》備受期待的擴展包“埃爾德樹之影”在發佈僅三天內就銷售了五百萬份。
This latest addition to the Elden Ring universe, launched on June 20 across PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X and S, has clearly struck a chord with the gaming community.
這一《埃爾登環》宇宙的最新成員於6月20日登陸PC、PlayStation 5和Xbox Series X 和 S，顯然深受遊戲社區歡迎。
"This milestone is the result of the tremendous support from fans all over the world, to whom we express our heartfelt gratitude," Bandai Namco Hldgs ADR (OTC:NCBDY) said in a press release.

Overcoming Challenges To Access Elden Ring's DLC
克服挑戰來獲取《埃爾登環》DLC
Elden Ring players need to defeat two bosses, including a particularly challenging optional one, before they can access "Shadow of the Erdtree."
《埃爾登環》玩家需要擊敗兩個BOSS（包括一個特別具有挑戰性的可選BOSS），然後才能進入“埃爾德樹之影”。
As Steam achievement data revealed, nearly two-thirds of Elden Ring PC players had not conquered this boss prior to the DLC's launch. This could have posed a significant hurdle for the expansion's success, yet Bandai Namco remained optimistic.
由於Steam成就數據顯示，近三分之二的《埃爾登環》PC玩家在DLC發佈前沒有打敗過這個BOSS。這可能是這個擴展包的成功面臨的一個重大障礙，但萬代南夢宮控股株式會社仍然保持樂觀。
Stellar Sales And Critical Acclaim
銷售火爆、獲得好評的《埃爾登環》
Selling five million copies in such a short period translates to about 20% of the Elden Ring's base game owners purchasing the DLC at $40 each.
在這麼短的時間內銷售五百萬份，相當於《埃爾登環》原版遊戲的20%的玩家以每份40美元的價格購買了DLC。
The initial mixed reviews on Steam, sparked by performance issues and perceived difficulty, have since improved, with the DLC now enjoying a 'mostly positive' rating.
最初在Steam上的差評由性能問題和遊戲難度引發，但是現在DLC的評價已經變成“大多好評”。
Elden Ring Movie Adaptation: A Possibility?
《埃爾登環》的電影改編：一個可能性？
Hidetaka Miyazaki, FromSoftware's president, has hinted at potential adaptations of Elden Ring beyond the gaming world, provided the right partnership emerges.
FromSoftware的總裁宮崎英高暗示，如果找到合適的合作伙伴，就有可能將《埃爾登環》改編成電影等其他版本。
"I don't see any reason to deny another interpretation or adaptation of Elden Ring, a movie for example," Miyazaki told The Guardian.
“我沒有理由否認對《埃爾登環》的另一種闡釋或改編，例如電影，”宮崎英高告訴《衛報》（The Guardian）。
However, he stressed the necessity of collaborating with a "very strong partner" who could faithfully translate the game's complex lore and narrative style into another medium.
但是，他強調了與一個“非常強大的合夥人”的合作的必要性，這個合作伙伴能夠忠實地將遊戲中複雜的歷史和敘事風格轉化成其他媒介。
Elden Ring's intricate history and lore, designed to be challenging and mysterious, might be difficult to adapt into another format.
《埃爾登環》複雜而神祕的歷史和故事情節可能很難用其他形式來轉化。
The game's fragmented narrative style, typical of Miyazaki-directed games, relies heavily on player exploration and discovery, which could be challenging to translate into other media. However, the rich setting created with the help of Game of Thrones author George R. R. Martin offers a lot of material for adaptation.
遊戲的碎片化敘事風格是宮崎導演遊戲的典型，非常依賴玩家的探索和發現，這可能很難轉化爲其他媒介。然而，藉助《權力的遊戲》作者喬治·R·R·馬丁的幫助所創造的豐富背景，可能會提供許多改編材料。
"So that's where a very strong partner would come into play," Miyazaki he continued. "We'd have to build a lot of trust and agreement on whatever it is we're trying to achieve, but there's interest, for sure."
宮崎英高繼續說道：“這就是一個非常強大的合夥人要起作用的地方。我們必須在我們嘗試實現什麼之前建立很多信任和一致，但是有興趣，當然。”
While he didn't specify what this interest entails, the idea of a movie adaptation isn't far-fetched given the current trend of video game adaptations in film and TV.
雖然他沒有具體說明這種興趣包括什麼，但是在當前的電影和電視遊戲改編的趨勢下，電影改編的想法並不離譜。
