The world of Elden Ring fans might be gearing up for a return to the game's sprawling universe sooner than expected. A retailer mishap implied that the anticipated downloadable content (DLC), dubbed "Shadow of the Erdtree," could be arriving around the game's second anniversary in February. As if that wasn't enough excitement, there's also a murmur about an additional expansion potentially slated for 2025.
Elden Ring, the critically acclaimed game developed by FromSoftware, made waves in the gaming industry with its release. Celebrating its first anniversary in February this year, FromSoftware enticed fans by releasing a piece of artwork thought to be from the upcoming "Shadow of the Erdtree" expansion. This artwork featured characters believed to be central to the game's rich and intricate story. However, details including the DLC's release date remained shrouded in mystery.
Recent developments have shed light on possible release dates thanks to an inadvertent leak by Datablitz, an online retailer. During a short window, a product page for Elden Ring-themed controllers hinted at the release. The controllers, a collaboration between game publisher Bandai Namco and accessory manufacturer Thrustmaster, appeared on Datablitz's website only to be quickly taken down. Yet, a sharp-eyed Reddit user, ChiefLeef22, managed to capture the fleeting moment.
