| Elden Ring Shadow of the Erdtree DLC release date announcement coming soon. |
Just like the Elden Ring, the wait and excitement for the Elden Ring Shadow of the Erdtree DLC from FromSoftware is sky-high.
Recently FromSoftware announced that we will be getting additional content with the PvP-focused Colosseum DLC, "Shadow of the Erdtree" which promises to take us to completely new places in the Elden Ring universe. Here, we will look at all the details available about this upcoming DLC including Shadow of the Erdtree release date, possible storyline, and more.
Shadow of the Erdtree Release Date
The big question is when will "Shadow of the Erdtree" be released? Well, the upcoming expansion was announced with much fanfare on February 28, 2023, but FromSoftware has kept the actual release date of Shadow of the Erdtree under wraps.
However, rumors are swirling that the release date might be unveiled at The Game Awards later this year, with a supposed release date of February 5, 2024.
Ziostorm, a Twitter user on Oct 9 revealed that some "unverified sources," claim that the upcoming Elde Ring DLC release date (supposedly February 5, 2024) will be announced at Games Awards.
Unverified sources are telling me that Elden Ring DLC is planned to be shown at The Game Awards with a release date of February 5th, 2024.

The suggested date falls on a Monday, which is unusual for game releases. However, the idea of a showcase at The Game Awards makes sense, given the strong connection between FromSoftware and the event's host, Geoff Keighley. Still, we'll need official confirmation.
While the release date is a mystery, major speculations point to Shadow of the Erdtree being released in late 2023 or early 2024.
Shadow of the Erdtree Content
Apart from the release date, the next important question is what can we expect from this Shadow of the Erdtree expansion?
While FromSoftware is keeping specifics close, the title alone hints at a rich and expansive new chapter in the Elden Ring story. There are high possibility that we will get new landscapes filled with enchanting views and unseen challenges.
In any Elden Ring expansion, you can't help but imagine encountering new characters, formidable enemies, and challenging bosses. While the full list of encounters remains secret, the idea of fresh faces and tough adversaries is quite exciting to me.
It is also possible that Shadow of the Erdtree expansion will bring new features that could change gameplay like new weapons, artifacts, or even unique mechanics that bring a fresh twist to our adventures.
Shadow of the Erdtree Storyline
Similar to the Elden Ring, there are various hidden mysteries around Shadow of the Erdtree, one of which is the strange promotional image that adds up to our anticipation.
The promotional image shows a diminished form of the Erdtree, a central figure in the Elden Ring universe. Given the title, we can assume this majestic being will play a major role in our new adventure. It suggests our journey in the DLC could occur after the main storyline. However, these are theories that we're making, and the actual story may hold different secrets.

We also have the possibility that the story will head towards the lore of the Haligtree, found in the Consecrated Snowfields. This tree has withered since Miquella's slumber, and the image might depict its degraded state, setting the stage for a story entwined with Miquella and the Consecrated Snowfields.
Given FromSoftware's history of surprising players, we can expect the unexpected. "Shadow of the Erdtree" could unveil a story that defies our imagination.
In addition to the most recent updates, leaker Sekirodubi discovered hints of potential future content in 2022, hidden in the code of one of Elden Ring's fixes.

The update mentioned up to 30 new bosses in addition to new clothing items and hairstyles. The dedicated data miner has also discovered up to 16 new/NPC or hostile characters known as "Someone Yet Unseen."
So, we might get lots of new NPCs along with Miquella being the big bad for Elden Ring Shadow of the Erdtree DLC.
