We’ve had barely an official word onElden RingDLCShadow Of The Erdtreesince it wasannounced about a year ago, itself a year after the release of From Software’s superbopen-worldsoulslike. That hasn’t stopped a steady drip of decidedlyunofficialrumours and signs about theElden Ringexpansion could arrive, though - and the latest indication is that Shadow of the Erdtree’s release date might be soon.

To catch you up, Shadow of the Erdtree was revealed with an evocative bit of concept art not long after Elden Ring’s one-year anniversary in February 2023. In the almost 12 months since, From Software has remained fairly shtum on what the DLC might include - which naturally hasn’t stopped internet loremasters decoding every pixel of the teaser artwork, widely believed to show lore-centric character Miquella (brother of punishing side-bossMalenia) astride the Tarnished’s hopping horse-mount Torrent.
We’ll hopefully find out more soon, especially if Steam is prepping to addsomethingto the game - whether that’s ultimately Shadow of the Erdtree or not.
It might be that players’ patience will be rewarded further, too, as the pulled controller sheet also made reference to a possible second bit of DLC - referred to as a “major key beat or new game expansion” in the materials - due to arrive in 2025. Could it be we wait all this time for one Elden Ring DLC, only to get two fairly close together?
