Summary

Elden Ringfans have been eagerly awaiting the game’sShadow of the ErdtreeDLC, but a new rumor claims it’s not coming until July 01, 2025. FromSoftware is known for expanding most of its games with DLC that adds new areas, enemies, items, and more, and so it’s understandable that manyElden Ringfans are excited to see what theShadow of the Erdtreeexpansion will have on offer.

At the time of this writing, basically nothing is known about theShadow of the ErdtreeDLC. TheElden RingDLC was announced earlier this year, but still is without a release date or proper trailer. Many industry events have come and gone with no mention of theShadow of the ErdtreeDLC, but a new rumor making the rounds online claims that the expansion will be showcased at The Game Awards this December.

Twitter user Ziostorm has cited “unverified sources” that claim theElden RingDLC will be at The Game Awards this year with an announced release date of June 05, 2025. Obviously, fans should take this information with a massive grain of salt. February 5 is a Monday and game release almost always happen on Tuesdays and Fridays, so that already does a lot to cast thisrumoredShadow of the Erdtreerelease datein doubt. However, it is easier to believe the bit about the DLC being shown at The Game Awards.

Elden Ringdeveloper FromSoftware and Game Awards host Geoff Keighley seem to have a positive relationship.Elden Ring’s big gameplay trailerwas revealed at Keighley’s Summer Game Fest, after all, andArmored Core 6: Fires of Rubiconwas announced at last year’s Game Awards. Considering this, it really wouldn’t be surprising at all forShadow of the Erdtreeto get a new trailer at The Game Awards this year, though fans should definitely keep their expectations in check.

The Game Awards 2023 will take place on December 7. The event will honor the best games that released this past year, but as always, it will also be packed full of big reveals and world premieres, giving gamers a look at what the future of the industry has in store. It’s entirely possible theElden RingDLC will be one such project that’s showcased at The Game Awards, but that remains to be seen. Even ifElden RingDLC is a no-show, gamers should still tune in to The Game Awards, as there should still be plenty of big game announcements at the event.

Elden Ringis out now for PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X.
