The DLC was announced nearly a year ago; but nothing has been revealed since. All we know about the Shadow of the Erdtree DLC comes from a piece of key art released alongside the announcement, showing a new character riding on Torrent\u2019s back toward the Erdtree. There\u2019s a lot of speculation about the identity of this character, but nothing concrete. Fans have been frustrated about the lack of news regarding the Elden Ring DLC, especially as it skipped every gaming event in 2023. The era of silence might soon be coming to an end, based on an update on Steam\u2019s backend. Elden Ring DLC page has been updated hinting at announcement Users on Resetera have noticed that Elden Ring\u2019s Steamdb page has been updated, with a new entry recently linked to its DLC. Fans were already excited about a possible reveal based on a recent collectible, and the Steam update is adding fuel to the fire. A user on the Elden Ring Reddit created a thread reporting on the Steam update, prompting excited responses from fans. \u201cOh my\u2026announcement must be imminent,\u201d one user wrote, while another said, \u201cLet\u2019s go my brothers.\u201d FromSoftware may be preparing an announcement in time for Elden Ring\u2019s two-year anniversary, which will occur on February 25, 2024. Whether this Steam update is related to an impending release or just preparing something else to hype up fans remains to be seen. It\u2019s unlikely that Shadow of the Erdtree will be released in February due to its sheer lack of promotion. The fact that the Elden Ring DLC skipped The Game Awards 2023 suggests it\u2019s not ready yet, as that would have been the perfect place to promote it. The likely answer is that there will be a reveal trailer on the anniversary, building up to a release later in the year, especially as February is already packed with big titles. At the very least, it shouldn\u2019t be long until fans get a proper look at Shadow of the Erdtree, even if it\u2019s not launching anytime soon.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Elden Ring fans get hopes up for DLC after surprise Steam update FromSoftwareAn update on Steamdb has fans excited for potential news about the upcoming Elden Ring DLC, which hasn\u2019t received any news since it was first announced. 2024 has many high-profile games on the calendar, but they will all compete for cash with the [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-42980","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dejan.au\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/42980","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dejan.au\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dejan.au\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dejan.au\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dejan.au\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=42980"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/dejan.au\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/42980\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dejan.au\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=42980"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dejan.au\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=42980"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dejan.au\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=42980"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
