Over a year after its release, From Software’s fantasy epic still counts Elder Ring still one of the most popular titles ever. Not only did it break all the records of the developers, but above all the announced one Shadow of the Erdtree-DLC should keep players engaged.
This is also shown by the recently published financial report of the parent company Kadokawa, which provides the sales figures for the 2022 financial year ended March 31. But there is no concrete indication that the DLC could celebrate its release this year. On the contrary.
Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree DLC is coming next spring at the earliest
The financial report (via wccftech) shows one thing above all: Elden Ring is still enjoying excellent sales a whole year after its original release. By the end of March 2023, the game from the creators of Dark Souls had sold over 20.5 million (virtual) counters – an increase of a whopping 500,000 units sold since the last report in February.

The reports also show that it won’t be released until next spring at the earliest and will therefore be a test of patience for From Software’s fans. While the company plans to flatten sales and profits with the planned release of Armored Core VI: Fires of Rubicon To counteract this, which is due to appear in August of this year, they are probably working on some mobile titles for smartphones or tablets in parallel.
However, the Shadows of the Erdtree DLC is completely missing from the net sales forecasts for the coming quarters. There is much more talk of a “medium to long-term” project that should not have any impact on sales for the next twelve months. It can therefore be assumed that we will not be able to prepare for the long-awaited expansion to Elden Ring until next April – or later.
Meanwhile, Kadokawa speaks of “maximizing profits by extending the lifespan of the IP”. The Elden Ring DLC, on the other hand, is said to have been in development for some time, but it shouldn’t hurt the quality of the title if From Software takes a little more time to complete Shadow of the Erdtree. In the meantime, if you’re looking for a change, you can use a Without further ado, mod all enemies in the intermediate lands to Malenia copies let become. And what we could expect with the Elden Ring DLC ​​at allwe also clarify.
