Accessory details gesture at Shadow of the Erdtree arriving for the game’s second anniversary
Elden RingexpansionShadow Of The Erdtreemight see a release date in February - just in time for the game’s second anniversary - if an accidental retailer leak is to be believed.
Shadow of the Erdtree was announced just after the game’s first anniversary in February of this year. At the time, developers From Softwaresimply teased some evocative artwith what fans believe to be Miquella and Torrent visible, suggesting a tie into the game’s dense lore and history. No release date was given, with FromSoft only confirming that the DLC was “currently in development”.
We’ve heard effectively nothing since about what to expect from the expansion, but a recent leak indicates that it may not be long before we’re returning to the Lands Between.
It seems that a new set ofElden Ring-themed controllers created in partnership between Elden Ring publishers Bandai Namco and accessories makers Thrustmaster are in the works. A product page for the controllers was posted online by online retailer Datablitz before being quickly pulled down - but not quick enough to escape the watchful eyes of Reddit userChiefLeef22.
February would make sense for a Shadow of the Erdtree release date, after all, as Elden Ring prepares to mark two years since its own launch.
From Software, Bandai Namco and Thurstmaster are all yet to acknowledge the apparent leak, with Datablitz quietly erasing all mention of the controllers and their release date from the internet in the days since. Still, it’s the first we’ve heard on any kind of Shadow of the Erdtree release date since it was revealed - and it won’t be long until we discover whether it’s accurate.
