Elden Ring DLC Shadow of the Erdtree officially in development

Elden Ring is getting a DLC expansion titled Shadow of the Erdtree, the game’s developer has announced. Japanese video game developer FromSoftware dropped a tweet on Tuesday confirming DLC for the hit action role-playing-game is officially in the works.

It comes a week after FromSoftware and the game’s publisher Bandai Namco announced that Elden Ring has sold more than 20m copies worldwide. The 2022 fantasy game lets players control a warrior in a vast domain called the Lands Between, a place ravaged by war following destruction of the Elden Ring.

Players are tasked with restoring the kingdom and becoming its new Elden Lord. It was developed in collaboration with Game of Thrones author George R.R. Martin, who took charge of the game’s worldbuilding.
