To answer the OP, it's an expandalone with flight mechanics and new powers. Regular Elden Ring is also a co-op action adventure game, but more notably in this trailer is that none of the other players are phantoms, meaning that, like they said in a previous interview, the "seamless co-op" mod and its popularity has influenced how they're handling multiplayer going forward.

My big question is whether this can be played singleplayer or if it's designed from the ground up to be multiplayer, since the trailer put a lot of focus on it being co-op. Man, I'm hyped either way!
Seems pretty interesting! Not sure how I'll feel about a roguelike take on a souls game but if the price is right I'll definitely get it.
Also looks like the Nameless King and the firekeeper (in a cloak) in the trailer! Could be cool if it's all integrated into the story nicely and not just a lazy way to fill things out
Honestly with the difficult being balanced right I think a roguelike dark souls could be really fun
I guess I'm worried it will lose some depth but to be fair I have no reason to assume that. Maybe the movement and new combat mechanics will give it more of a roguelike feel too, seems faster paced
I went full Leo pointing meme when Nameless King showed up. Always loved that fight.
How...? I thought they said they weren't doing any more games like Elden Ring?
They also said the dlc was the size of limgrave and wouldn't take that long to beat
Gitgud /s
What they said is true. At the time when they made that statement, this was already done 😎
Pretty cool iteration, hopefully.
