Elden Ring Shadow Of Erdtree Still In Development, No Release Date

thegamer.com:

We still don't have a release date for Elden Ring's DLC, Shadow of the Erdtree, and it's possible we won't get one anytime soon. That's at least according to a financial report from FromSoftware's parent company, Kadokawa, which says that Shadow of the Erdtree is still in the works, but it doesn't have a release date it can share with us "at this time".

It's not clear how long it will stay in this phase, and FromSoft isn't giving us any more information that would clear things up.

After that, it's being reported that we're getting an Elden Ring mobile game that's inspired by Genshin Impact. This might be one of the ways that Kadokawa hopes to keep Elden Ring alive, promoting the main game through the mobile release. This is also
