The release of Shadow of the Erdtree is expected to boost sales even more. This DLC will introduce a host of new content to the game.

As with FromSoftware’s previous titles like Dark Souls and Bloodborne, accessing the DLC won’t be straightforward; players will need to complete a series of challenging in-game tasks, including defeating an optional boss.

The expansion promises a new map, story, bosses, and items, adding even more depth to Elden Ring. Since its launch in 2022, the game has become a cultural sensation.

Players have found creative ways to interact with it, such as using a Fisher Price toy or the Nintendo Switch Ring Fit controller to play, and even developing a VR version.

The mere announcement of the expansion’s release date has already brought many players back to the game. This reflects the high anticipation and excitement surrounding this new content.
