A new Elden Ring expansion DLC, Shadow of the Erdtree, is available development. There’s no word on what it will entail or when to expect it. This is the first major addon for Elden Ring, which turned one year old on February 25, 2023. Along with the title, FromSoftware also shared a key visual from the expansion.
Prior to this announcement, the only item of Elden Ring DLC was the free Colosseum update. Since Shadow of the Erdtree appears to be a massive expansion, it’s unclear if it will be paid DLC or free like Colosseum. In the Tweet announcing Shadow of the Erdtree, FromSoftware states that it hopes players will look forward to “new adventures in Middle-earth”. It seems to imply a new area or plot to explore.
Elden Ring has been a great success for FromSoftware. Not only did it win Game of the Year at the 2023 DICE Awards and the 2022 Game Awards, FromSoftware reported that it had sold over 20 million units by the end of February 2023. This is a increase of approximately 7 million since its financial report. in May 2022.
Elden Ring is available for PS4, PS5, Xbox Series X, Xbox One and Windows PC via Steam worldwide. The Shadow of the Erdtree expansion for Elden Ring is in development and more information on when to expect it, as well as what it will entail, will be released in the near future.
