Depends on the type of DLC. It's an open world game, so a DLC this time around could be more than just an added zone to explore. If it is just that, then using a current run wouldn't be an issue (other than difficulty which you mentioned), but it's also possible in the format they have now to expand on the over/under world as a whole. So while there will undoubtedly be new zones, it could be that they are sprinkled around the world much like the underworld passages. Seamlessly adding in the expansion to the base game instead of just being the usual "use X item here and be transported to an entirely separate place".
I think that would be a much better expansion. New quests, NPCs, zones and mobs added over the map, perhaps even with a new ending. That kind of expansion/DLC would make me want to do a new run to find things as I go along.

What's your problem?
I agree that Elden Ring is game of the year. I'm just cynical about people remembering that when shiny new thing is out.

You should buy it on a brand new system and plat it again before starting the DLC.

I feel like the "use X item and be transported to DLC" theme was already used in Elden Ring with the Consecrated Snowfields / Haligtree. IMO that might as well have been the first DLC and they just threw it in at launch because it was done.
Game would have been interesting without Malenia in it. Maliketh would have won all the "toughest boss" rankings, we wouldn't have the total meme-ology of Malenia destroying people, and the game would probably have a slightly different rep.
So bearing in mind that the Malenia part of the game is basically DLC 1, I think this next one is gonna have:
-A new overland zone
-A bunch of dungeons
-One major legacy dungeon
-Those 3 PVP arenas
I'm really curious to see where the new overland zone fits on the map. Probably under one of the cloud-covered areas of the map.
The PVP arenas might be a good reason to start over and do NG with lower levels, because at 260 on NG+++ I might not even be able to participate in them.

I regret absolutely nothing.
I wish there were a PS3 version I could buy and plat it a third time!

I still think the ER DLCs are gonna be Godwin and Miquella, one in each.
Godwin is probably gonna be in the Badlands DLC, if it pans out. I bet it's at the center of the overworld, between the 3 arenas.
Miquella's DLC might be inside of Miquella's Dream and thus off the map.
Lot of rumors there'll be time travel involved, that could be interesting. Godwin seems kind of dead in the present, so going back in time to fight him makes sense. And Miquella is also dead-ish in the present, but again, dream world. It'd be easy enough to revive both of them anyway.

This guy completed ER killing all the bosses without ever getting hit once. And it's not that he just was able to kill them eventually no hit, but he did the entire game in one run with all bosses never getting hit by a single boss, damage dealing trap, or random mob. It's absolute insanity. The entire stream is below so you can see for yourself.
This complete psychopath also did a punch only run. Due to the way unarmed fist damage works, there's basically no scaling. Fire giant took him five hours on his successful attempt. The entire run (just Remembrances, I believe), was 58 hours. It's hard to fathom the autism this dude has.

That’s nuts, but I expected it. They’ve done no hit runs on every previous game. I hope Miyazaki sees it and responds to that old tweet.

I watched some of that live, attempt like 200 he got one shot by the last boss and DS3 and said to the chat that he isn’t going to try anymore. Same dude I assume because who else would do that.

Not the same guy I think. The OG one was Happyhob. He was the first to do the entire series (except Elden ring). He got carpal tunnel a while back and while healing/resting his hands, he practised no hit runs of Elden Ring for training using his toes. He isn't normal. In the video you linked he says "what is happening" and Happyhob is the one saying that he has brought great honor to the no hit community.
