Not much is known about the Shadow of the Erdtree DLC, but a FromSoftware producer has confirmed that it will include new battles and characters, further fueling the anticipation among fans. However, the absence of any showcase of the expansion at The Game Awards has left some fans disappointed and concerned about the release date.

The silence from the studio at the awards show seemed to dispel previous rumors of a February 2024 release, but a new leak has reignited speculation that the expansion may indeed be coming soon. An observant Redditor, ChiefLeef22, uncovered a potentially significant detail on a product page that hinted at the release date and content of the Shadow of the Erdtree expansion.

Thrustmaster's Product Page Revelation

ChiefLeef22's discovery on Thrustmaster's product page has sent shockwaves through the Elden Ring community. The page showcased an Elden Ring-themed controller and bore the message 'Sync with new 'Shadow of the Erdtree' expansion release - Elden Ring Anniversary' with an additional line indicating 'Availability February 2024.' The asterisks next to these lines suggest a deliberate connection, adding credibility to the leaked information.

The listing has since been taken down, sparking further speculation about the legitimacy of the information. In a surprising turn, the product page also revealed a roadmap for one of Thrustmaster's future controllers, hinting at a major expansion for Elden Ring in 2025. This revelation has left fans contemplating the potential for multiple expansions in the near future, adding another layer of excitement and intrigue to the Elden Ring universe.

What to Expect from Shadow of the Erdtree

With the possibility of the Shadow of the Erdtree expansion being released as soon as February 2024, fans are eager to learn more about what it will offer. Rumors suggest that the expansion will be massive, potentially combining two separate expansions into one, promising a wealth of new content and experiences for players.

One of the most anticipated aspects of the expansion is the introduction of new battles and characters, adding further depth and excitement to the Elden Ring universe. However, some fans are also hoping for adjustments to the game's environment, particularly the recurring poisonous swamps that have been a source of frustration for many players. While the director of Elden Ring, Hidetaka Miyazaki, acknowledged players' complaints, it remains to be seen if the studio plans to address this issue in the upcoming expansion.
