There’s good news and bad news for those who are anxiously anticipating the release ofElden Ring’s DLC expansion,Shadow of the Erdtree. The good news is that development on it is going well, according to FromSoftware’s parent company, Kadokawa. The bad news is that there’s still no release date for it.
Shadow of the Erdtreeis a mysterious one. Announced at the end of February this year, we’ve been given next to no information about it since then, apart from its name and one gorgeous piece of promotional art featuring a blond-haired individual on the back of the spectral steed, Torrent. While fans have been speculating about who this character is and what the story of the DLC could be for months, we’re yet to be told anything concrete by developer FromSoftware.
It’s still not FromSoftware that has given this latest development update, in fact. This news comes from Kadokawa’s recentearnings report, which was published today (November 2). The report states: “The release timing of DLC forElden Ringhas not yet been announced, but development is proceeding smoothly.”
In a later section of the report, it reiterates: “We are currently working hard on the development of DLC forElden Ringbut we have not announced a release date at this time.”
With that, it’s once again simply a waiting game for fans who are eager to dive into their next challenge. Generally speaking, DLC for FromSoftware’s soulsborne games is even harder than the base content, so anyone who struggled to take down the notoriously difficult Malenia, Elden Beast, or any of the rest will likely want to steel themselves and prepare for the worst. What an equally terrifying and thrilling prospect.
