Read below to know more about the Elden Ring Shadow of the Erdtree DLC. A new Elden Ring expansion pack is coming soon to players, which is called Shadow of the Erdtree. Currently in development, the developer FromSoftware announced in a tweet on February 28 that a DLC was officially in development.

When is the Elden Ring Shadow of the Erdtree release date and how much will it cost?
Unlike the Colosseum Update which was already hinted in the base game, Shadow of the Erdtree offers new areas, weapons, equipment, bosses, and more.
As of the moment, you can expect its release to be in late 2023. With the expansion was only announced in February, there hasn't been any update yet on details of Shadow of the Erdtree. It's speculated to be priced between $20 and $40, but this is subject to change.
What is in the Elden Ring Shadow of the Erdtree DLC?
For the upcoming expansion, we've seen art that showcases a Torent-like horse being ridden by an unknown character. This is rumoured to be Miquella or Queen Marika. Additionally, the Erdtree featured in the cover art is bleeding gold, which may mean that this is a post-destruction story that happens after the endings in the base game. You'll also be able to see ethereal structures on the field, which could be the ghostly tombs of the Haligtree soldiers who sacrificed themselves in a flash to guide Miquella's return.
The Elden Ring expansion will likely feature plenty of new content, based on the size of the original game. Players can expect a completely new map covering about one-third of the area of the base game. Based on the previous Artorias of the Abyss and The Old Hunters expansions for other FromSoftware games, we'll probably see new items, consumables, materials, bosses, enemies, possibly new effects, and more magic types.
