ELDEN RING DLC CONFIRMED
There hasn’t been much in terms of official news regarding Elden Ring's Shadow of the Erdtree since its announcement, but several sources have indicated that a major update could be coming sooner rather than later. While some fans are expecting FromSoftware to utilize the second anniversary for an announcement or even surprise release later this month, there have also been some who’ve speculated that this DLC might still be months away after. With so much of the discourse surrounding Shadow of the Erdtree being related to how long its production is taking, the effort put into it could have just been a full standalone follow-up to Elden Ring.

Despite plenty of rumours, we still don’t know when Elden Ring DLC Shadow of the Erdtree will arrive - it could be later this month, this year or maybe beyond even that. While we’re waiting on the official expansion, though, modders have beaten FromSoftware to offering a substantial new experience to those who’ve cleared every corner of the Lands Between.

The most successful game of FromSoftware is about to turn two years old in just a couple of days. Elden Ring DLC has a lot of fans waiting for this big new content. This second anniversary could mean a lot of things for the game.

Fans are anticipating the confirmed release date of the DLC. But neither Bandai Namco nor FromSoftware are giving new details about what could happen on this anniversary. A collaboration with other games may also happen, but there is only speculation on the air.

Eager anticipation surrounds Elden Ring’s next major expansion, Shadow of the Erdtree, especially after the PvP-focused Colosseum DLC’s release. Here’s a peek into what’s expected from this upcoming addition to FromSoftware’s critically acclaimed title almost a year after its announcement.

Exactly one month ago, Elden Ring received a backend Steam update to its DLC category for the first time since launch, pointing to an imminent Shadow of the Erdtree announcement.

Since then, another update revealed that it's in the "quality assessment" stage, which was followed by a financial report from FromSoftwware's parent company, Kodokawa, highlighting that it's still in development but does not have a release date.

Despite a slew of curious Steam updates that have Elden Ring fans vibrating with anticipation for an imminent DLC release, FromSoftware's parent company, Kadokawa, has stepped in to crush those dreams.

In an FAQ section from a recent financial report, the company gave an update about the development status of Elden Ring's Shadow of the Erdtree DLC: "We are currently working hard on the development of DLC for Elden Ring but we have not announced a release date at this time."

Alongside a report of a purported and somewhat baffling Elden Ring mobile game being in the works, a Steam update has ignited the dynam-hype fuse for the Shadow of the Erdtree DLC and we'll add to it with our own release date speculation as well as going over the latest news.

As FromSoftware fans eagerly wait for the release of the highly anticipated Elden Ring DLC Shadow of the Erdtree, the modding community has been doing anything but twiddling its thumbs, determined to keep spirits up among their fellow Tarnished.

How close are we to the Elden Ring DLC, Shadow of the Erdtree? Honestly, who knows? FromSoftware appeared, dropped the news, and then closed the door again, leaving us all out in the cold and praying for news.

This is why, whenever the game gets an update or even a mention, fans clamour for more and get their hopes up. Well, you won’t catch us getting all foamed at the mouth with excitement, at all. Not us. But really, when is the DLC coming out?

Rumors have been circulating for a few months now that the highly-anticipated DLC for Elden Ring, The Shadow of the Erdtree was about to drop, potentially by the end of this month, which coincidentally is the two-year anniversary of the original game’s release.

Such is the popularity of Elden Ring, a two-year hiatus has not damaged the yearning from its fans to get back into the fiendishly difficult Soulslike, to the point where leakers and those who want to be the first to spread the word, have been poking around in the inner sanctums of the Steam backend for any trace that an update may be on the way.

The owners of Elden Ring developers FromSoftware have dampened hopes that long-awaited DLC Shadow of the Erdtree might release in time for the soulslike’s second anniversary this month - despite recent rumours and behind-the-scenes Steam updates indicating otherwise.

We know it’s confirmed, sillybuns. We just don’t know the date. And this novel of text is a whole lotta unconfirming speculation about said date
