Watch the Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree reveal here at 3PM – but has the release date already leaked?

FromSoftware is gearing up to deliver the big reveal of the much awaited Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree expansion, and you can watch the trailer below at 3PM GMT… but has the DLC release date already been leaked?

The release date for Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree is rumoured to be set for 21st June 2024, with two special editions of the game set to launch that date – a GOTY and a Collector’s Edition – both of which will contain the main game and the expansion DLC.

This is from the strikingly consistent billbil-kun, who has been posting gaming leaks to French deals site Deallabs with remarkable accuracy – they’re best known for a 100% track record in PS Plus monthly game announcements.

It’s been a long wait for fans of the 2022 smash hit, with Elden Ring director Hidetaka Miyazaki first teasing the DLC during The Game Awards 2022,  “As for Elden Ring, we have several more things we want to do” he commented. It was then confirmed to be in development in early 2023, though development has been largely silent ever since then. While Elden Ring has sold tens of millions of copies, it shows impressive commitment to work on a DLC expansion for over two years – typically that kind of development cycle gets spun off into a sequel, as we saw with Tears of the Kingdom.

The title has one multiple Game of The Year awards including trophies from DICE, The Game Awards, and it was our Overall Game of The Year winner here at TheSixthAxis.

We scored Elden Ring top marks, 10/10 in our review back in February 2022. “Elden Ring is the game Souls fans have been waiting for,” said Jason. “From the open world design, to riding into battle on Torrent’s back, and the dark narrative woven through the world, this is a clear Game of the Year frontrunner that will have us all ensnared for a long time to come.”
