by theygamesWhen is Elden Ring Shadow of the Erdtree coming out? The first DLC for FromSoftware’s magnum opus is almost here and it’s nearly time to head back to the Lands Between. Taking us on a journey to somewhere completely new, one of the biggest games is about to get even bigger.
Elden Ring is the culmination of everything the veteran developer has learned since it first launched Demon Souls. The soulslike game combines a huge open world with deadly, careful, combat, making it feel like the natural end point for the genre. After all, no-one does it better than FromSoftware, and Elden Ring brings together threads from pretty much every game they’ve done so far into one colossal package.
The game’s first DLC is nearing launch with the Elden Ring Shadow of the Erdtree release date getting ever closer, and you might be wondering exactly when you can get your hands on it. Thankfully, the developer has put out a map letting you know when Elden Ring Shadow of the Erdtree will launch in your region.
