Cursed with eternal youth and unable to reach adulthood, Miquella tried to cure both his own curse and his sister's rot by creating the Haligtree and entering a coma inside a cocoon. The godly brother of the legendarily deadly swordswoman and goddess of rot Malenia, Miquella gets mentioned a lot in Elden Ring, but is never properly seen - and right now he's our best bet at the mysterious figure's identity.

With that in mind, here are some possible identities for the figure on Torrent, and what they mean for the DLC itself. This figure is hard to identify, but definitely seems important considering the prominence with which they're shown. The Shadow of the Erdtree DLC promotional image shows a blonde-haired figure on top of Torrent, approaching the burnt Erdtree. Who is the blonde figure on Torrent in Shadow of the Erdtree? Not to mention that the Colosseum update arguably fulfills the criteria of being the first DLC - so now we're in uncharted territory. If these examples set a precedent, it suggests that if there is going to be Elden Ring DLC in the future, we'd probably at least hear about it within a year - though that's pretty speculative.

Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice: 1 year, 7 months to Free Update content.

Dark Souls 3: 7 months to Ashes of Ariandel DLC.Bloodborne: 8 months to The Old Hunters DLC.Dark Souls 2: 3 months to Crown of the Sunken King DLC.Dark Souls: 11 months to Artorias of the Abyss DLC (released as part of the Prepare to Die edition, it took another 2 months on top of that to become purchasable individually).The best we can do at this point is to look at past FromSoftware games and compare their release dates with their first DLC's release dates, to see how long it took them to come out. Elden Ring's Shadow of the Erdtree DLC has no officially announced release date yet, as the first press announcement simply described it as 'in development'.
