Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree Release Date Revealed, Alongside New Trailer and Collector’s Edition

After months of speculation and anticipation, FromSoftware and Bandai Namco have officially unveiled the release date for Elden Ring’s highly anticipated DLC, “Shadow of the Erdtree.” The expansion is set to launch on June 21, 2024, for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC. Alongside the confirmation, a new story trailer was revealed—offering fans a tantalizing glimpse at the dark and mysterious journey that awaits.

The trailer provides a haunting preview of the new narrative content, worlds, and twisted foes players will encounter beyond the Lands Between. With shades of Bloodborne’s gothic horror and a more intimate yet still grandiose feel, “Shadow of the Erdtree” looks to deepen the mythos of Elden Ring while taking players to new, unexplored realms tied to the enigmatic figure of Miquella.

In addition to gameplay teases, FromSoftware has also revealed a lavish Collector’s Edition for die-hard Tarnished. Priced at $249.99, the package includes a stunning 40-page hardcover artbook, an exclusive 18-inch statue of Miquella wearing a hooded shroud, and a digital soundtrack. Pre-orders for the Collector’s Edition begin today, and quantities are expected to be limited, prompting eager fans to act fast.

Director Hidetaka Miyazaki previously hinted that “Shadow of the Erdtree” would deliver some of the most challenging content yet for the franchise, and the latest trailer hints at towering new bosses and deeper lore waiting to be uncovered. While the base game pushed boundaries with its open-world design and incredible environmental storytelling, this expansion seeks to further refine the studio’s winning formula.

Elden Ring released in February 2022 and quickly became a cultural phenomenon, winning numerous Game of the Year awards and selling over 20 million copies. Fans of the game have been clamoring for more content ever since the original announcement of the DLC in February 2023.

With just four months until launch, enthusiasm for “Shadow of the Erdtree” is reaching fever pitch. Expect more information to emerge in the coming weeks as FromSoftware builds momentum toward what could be another landmark moment in modern gaming.
