A retail listing from Datablitz hints to the likely release date for Elden Ring greatly waited for expansion, Shadow of the Erdtree, according to a recent Reddit discovery. The expansion, according to the source may hit stores in February 2024.

Elden Ring producer Yasuhiro Kitao recently shared an update on the status of Shadow of the Erdtree. Kitao told Japanese website Game Watch that production is going well, but that fans should not expect a release date anytime soon.
"It'll be a little while yet, but progress is going well," Kitao stated. "Like Bloodborne, it has new battles and new characters." Kadokawa, the parent company of From Software, also affirmed this month that the development of the DLC is "proceeding smoothly."
Elden Ring received an update in December of the previous year that revealed multiple Colosseums spread around the in-game world, allowing users to engage in PvP issues such as duels, free-for-alls, and team fights. In addition, ray tracing functionality was added to the game on PC and next-generation consoles in March, improving the visual experience for gamers.
