FromSoftware will publish a trailer for Elden Ring DLC Shadow of the Erdtree on February 21, 2024, at 7am PT / 10am ET / 4pm CET which may finally reveal the expansion’s release date. The Lands Between will enter a new chapter on PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S later this year. The trailer will be three minutes long and it looks like the video includes a warm-up phase of 30 minutes to really get the hype going.

Check out the trailer for Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree below once it premiered:

Shadow of the Erdtree was announced during Elden Ring’s first anniversary and is the first paid DLC for 2022’s Game of the Year. Late last year, producer Yasuhiro Kitano said that “there is still quite a bit of work to be done” on the expansion, “but it's going well,” during an awards ceremony in Japan. That’s basically everything we heard on that topic for the entirety of 2023 – which is not a surprise, given that FromSoftware released another highly regarded title that year with Armored Core 6: Fires of Rubicon. They wouldn’t have wanted to overshadow that with Elden Ring buzz.

Excitement around Shadow of the Erdtree came back recently after it was discovered that the developer added a DLC to Steam’s backend, which fans correctly assumed to be the upcoming content pack.

With gameplay from the Elden Ring DLC finally at hand, players can dive back into speculation mode and will have to make some hard decisions: Play the upcoming story with one of their trusty old characters or dive into things with a fresh face and a brand-new build?
