Shadow of the Erdtree is dazzlingly, blisteringly real in the wake of yesterday's three-minute reveal trailer, and we now have more info about the expansion to 2022's game of the year than ever before. Its price, for instance. Unlike previous add-ons for FromSoft games, Erdtree is a whopping $40 (£35) over on Steam right now, $20 off the price of Elden Ring itself.
That's a significant departure from FromSoft's previous pricing strategy for its Soulsborne DLCs. Dark Souls 3's duo of DLCs were $15 apiece when they launched, or $25 for both together in that game's season pass. Dark Souls 2? Same story. Its three DLCs were $10 each, or $25 for the season pass. Even sainted Bloodborne's Old Hunters DLC was a mere $20 on PS4.
