FromSoftware has officially announced Shadow of the Erdtree, an upcoming DLC expansion for Elden Ring. The developer confirmed that the DLC is currently in development, but no release date has been announced for the time being.
The news came in the form of tweets from the official Elden Ring and FromSoftware Twitter accounts, with each tweet also featuring new key artwork for the expansion which you can see just below.
This news comes just days after Elden Ring’s one-year anniversary, in which it has sold over 20 million copies and received unprecedented game of the year awards, including at DICE, New York Game Awards, The Game Awards, and was IGN’s best game of 2022 as well.
Elden Ring has had just one other piece of DLC content added to the game since launch, which came in the form of the Colosseum multiplayer update. It hasn’t been confirmed how much content Shadow of the Erdtree is set to include, but it will be the first single-player expansion available for Elden Ring.
IGN has also recently spoke to Elden Ring creator Miyazaki, who suggested that success won’t dictate what content FromSoftware makes next.
Shadow of the Erdtree seemingly isn’t the only project FromSoftware is working on currently, with Armored Core VI: Fires of Rubicon also in active development from the Japanese studio.
