Elden Ring has become one of the best video games since its release. The game won the Game of the Year 2022 title by defeating God of War: Ragnarok. The game has kept up with the fans, but recent developments have made it even more enjoyable. A new DLC named The Shadow of the Erdtree is the focal point of the gaming community at the moment.

The hype surrounding the release ofElden Ringwas massive. Even after almost one and a half years of its release, there seems to be no end to its popularity. WithThe Shadow of the Erdtree, the fans will most likely get a backstory on one of the most overlooked Demigods – Godwyn the Golden. Due to Godwyn being the first Demigod to die, it will be an exciting narrative if the speculations are true.
Godwyn The Golden Might Come To The Light
Godwyn The Golden is one of the many Demigods inElden Ring, but he is also one of the most neglected Demigods of the video game. Since the Erdtree and Godwyn have a major connection, fans expect to see some narrative and gameplay on him.Elden Ringbegan with his death, so naturally, he was deprived of screen time.

The video game developers have released a few images from their upcoming DLC. It is seen that the Erdtree, the personification of the Greater Will, looks like a gloomy dead tree with almost no life to it. An ominous aura surrounds it, and it looks deathly blighted. But if people look back at the original, they will find that the Erdtree is magnificent. It is beautiful, and a bright light emits from its branches. The all-encompassing light surrounds the whole tree, down to the trunk itself.
Most think that the corpse of Godwyn might have been awakened and sucked the life out of Erdtree. It has been proven that Elden Ring has several necromancers capable of doing it. It may be that or, finally, a DLC where the game focuses on quests relating to Godwyn and unfolds the mysteries. Whatever the case, these speculations are fascinating, and knowing more about Godwyn will definitely boost the game’s sales.

Elden Ring was released on June 27, 2025. After breaking several records, their developer, FromSoftware Inc., announced on June 26, 2025, that a new DLC,The Shadow of the Erdtree, will be released soon. Since then, the speculations have piled up, mainly about Godwyn The Golden.
The name of Godwyn keeps popping up since he is the first genuinely dead Demigod and is buried underneath the Erdtree. He is expected to be an adamant boss since he was mutated and developed into a monstrous form. More than that, the gaming community would love to see an insight into Godwyn’s past life since practically there is no information about him.

With all the speculations flying up, Lands Between might again be thrown into turmoil. But this turmoil will also happen in the gaming world if the truly dead one has become undead. Being buried underneath the Erdtree and the Erdtree turning from a golden glowing landmark to a dead tree is a clear indication. For the moment, everyone is waiting to see what happens and how it turns out.
