The Elden Ring DLC Shadow of the Erdtree may be set for a February, 2024, release date according to a recent Thrustmaster leak. Said leak also suggests a second addition of some sort possibly scheduled for 2025 [Thanks, ChiefLeef22 on Reddit and Wario64!)
The alleged leak comes via a collaboration between Bandai Namco and gaming controller and peripherals company Thrustmaster, which was found by Reddit user ChiefLeef22. Apparantly, a Phillipines-based vendor called DataBlitz listed unintended images in the pre-order page for the Elden Ring-themed Thrustmaster controllers. These images listed a February 2024 release window for the controllers, which was intended to sync with the release of the Shadow of the Erdtree DLC. The page has since been taken down, along with several screenshots being hosted, but a cached version can be found in the Reddit post.
Also listed are two more controllers based on the characters Malenia and Ranni, which the page states are intended to be released alongside a “major keybeat or game expansion” in 2025.
You can find the leaked images in Wario64’s tweet below:
From Software previously commented on the development progress of the DLC at the Playstation Partner Awards 2023 Japan Asia, where it was compared to DLC for other From games like Bloodborne. Good Smile Company also recently began accepting pre-orders for the Nendoroid of Ranni, which includes the Dark Moon Greatsword and Dark Moon Ring as extra parts.
Elden Ring is immediately available for PS4, PS5, PC, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S, with the Shadow of the Erdtree DLC in development and on the way.
