Elden Ring is a complete success for Bandai Namco and From Software; the game has been the best-selling IP in the last couple of years for both companies. All this adds up to the incredibly receptive community of the game that always makes this title appear in the top searches on the internet.
But the only thing that fans want right now is the Elden Rinh DLC Shadow of the Erdtree. It was announced back in March 2023, and thanks to some rumors, it could be the biggest one for the game. A Reddit user has a very interesting theory about the release date; he identified a pattern.
The Elden Ring DLC could announce its release date very soon
The anticipation is real, and fans can no longer wait any longer for the Elden Ring DLC Shadow of the Erdtree. A lot of rumors and speculation are circulating on the internet about a possible release date. Many of these rumors were extracted from backend files with no real results. Another point is the scale of this content, talking about how big it will be. One particular rumor said that Shadow of the Erdtree would be a stand-alone expansion. Bandai Namco or From Software did not confirm or deny any of these rumors.
One particular Reddit user, KvasirTheOld, makes a very fascinating case about when the Shadow of the Erdtree DLC will be coming to Elden Ring. In the official subreddit of the game, the user noticed a pattern in previous launch content. The three DLCs, Old Hunters, Ashes of Ariandel, and Ringed City, were all announced and launched two months later. This is a fact, so a pattern is real with the management of releases by Bandai Namco.
Could this really be the case?
This user aims specifically at the upcoming second anniversary of the game. With this very important date coming, a new trailer could be launched, and then, two months later, the official release of the Shadow of the Erdtree DLC could happen. This is all speculation on the part of this user, but a pattern was followed in previous DLCs. This may change because of the significance of this new content, which apparently is very large and meaningful to From Software and Bandai Namco.
Elden Ring is the most successful game in the history of From Software; the title sold more than 20,000,000 copies worldwide. So it makes sense from a business point of view that the content generates a very large stream of revenue for all the companies involved.
Tell us what you think about the upcoming Elden Ring DLC. Is Shadow of the Erdtree coming soon?
