Good news, the first trailer for Elden Ring’s Shadow of the Erdtree DLC has just dropped and it’s confirmed the expansion’s release date. You’ll be able to get your hands on the DLC on June 21, 2024.
Yes, that thing we’ve all been anticipating with more nervous energy than someone facing Malenia for the first time since the calendar flipped over to 2024 is actually going be in our lives before the end of time! Plus, today’s trailer gave us some more teases of what to expect from it, which FromSoft fans will no doubt be picking over and analysing for at least the next month.
As announced on Monday, the first Shadow of the Erdtree DLC dropped today, February 21, via Bandai Namco and FromSoftware’s YouTube channels. The big news coming out of it? A release date of June 21, 2024 being confirmed, giving you a decent amount of time to prepare a killer build to take on the new content.
So, there you go. That’s the date you’ve got to circle in your calendar and start prepping for, possibly with the help of mods that make Malenia even more difficult to deal with than she is in the vanilla game. Hey, at least you’ll now be playing dodge the waterfowl dance, rather than dodge losing a bet about when the first Shadow of the Erdtree trailer will arrive.
Elden Ring’s first major bit of DLC was originally announced back in February 2023, via a nice little image featuring what appears to be Miquella of the Haligtree and the words: “Rise, Tarnished, and let us walk a new path together. An upcoming expansion for #ELDENRING Shadow of the Erdtree, is currently in development. We hope you look forward to new adventures in the Lands Between.”
This is a breaking story, so we’ll be sure to update it ASAP once we’ve had a chance to properly comb through the trailer.
