Multiple sources have indicated that the expansion for Bandai Namco Entertainment and FromSoftware’s Elden Ring, titled Shadow of the Erdtree, may be set for release in February, 2024.
The release of Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree appears to be set for February, 2024, as evidence continues to pile up. Most recently, a new database entry for Elden Ring downloadable content has been made on Steam. It is listed as an unknown app for now, as Shadow of the Erdtree has yet to be given an official release date. The addition of these new DLC files strongly suggests that the expansion may be set for release very soon.
Additionally, collectible figure creator PureArts recently announced that its first Elden Ring collectible will launch in February, 2024. This is the second collaboration that has hinted at a release date for Shadow of the Erdtree. Earlier, online retailer DataBlitz posted a page to promote a collaboration between Elden Ring and gaming accessories manufacturer, Thrustmaster. The new eSwap controller is set to launch in February 2024, coinciding with the release date of Shadow of the Erdtree. The promotional material hinted at the possibility of a DLC expansion or a “keybeat” for the game in 2025. Content creator Ziostorm, who shares Elden Ring related content, had also mentioned that based on what they’ve heard from their sources, Shadow of the Erdtree is set for release on February 5, 2024.
Elden Ring was developed by FromSoftware, published by Bandai Namco Entertainment, and directed by Hidetaka Miyazaki, with worldbuilding contributions from George R. R. Martin. The game is available on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Microsoft Windows, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S. Players create a character and embark on a quest to repair the Elden Ring and become the new Elden Lord. The player character’s steed Torrent serves as the primary mode of travel through the game’s six main regions.
