Elden Ring Shadow Of The Erdtree Is “First And Last DLC,” No Other Content Planned

Elden Ring – Shadow of the Erdtree–the expansion to FromSoftware’s 2022 action-RPG–is coming next month, and it will add a new layer to the story of one of gaming’s most-recent smash hits–and GameSpot’s 2022 Game Of The Year. Unfortunately for Elden Ring fans, this extra chapter will be the only DLC expansion, as game director Hidetaka Miyazaki confirmed that no other new content will be coming to the game after it.

Per GamesRadar, Miyazaki made the statement while speaking with Chinese outlet Campfire Camp, where he calls Shadow of the Erdtree the “the first and last DLC” and the “only DLC” in multiple instances. However, in the same interview, Miyazaki does not rule out another game set in the Elden Ring world, though he does not confirm one either.

Previously, Bandai Namco has stated that Elden Ring would be made “in a variety of other areas” beside gaming, but no other projects outside of the Shadow Of The Erdtree DLC have been announced. From Software, meanwhile, has since revived a dormant franchise with last year’s Armored Core VI: Fires Of Rubicon. No other projects from the studio are known at this time.

The Shadow of the Erdtree expansion for Elden Ring was first announced via a single teaser image in February 2023. One year later, a trailer for the DLC was released, which debuted gameplay, story teases, and a June 2024 release date.

Elden Ring – Shadow of the Erdtree launches June 21 for Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, and PC.
