In a surprising turn of events, a leaked retailer document has hinted at a potential release window for the highly anticipated Elden Ring DLC expansion, "Shadow of the Erdtree." According to the leak, the expansion could possibly launch in February 2024. Although unconfirmed by publisher Bandai Namco, this information has sparked excitement among fans eagerly awaiting new content for the beloved game.

The leaked details came to light when online retailer Datablitz accidentally shared information about an upcoming collaboration between Bandai Namco and peripheral manufacturer Thrustmaster. This collaboration will reportedly result in the release of limited edition controllers themed around Elden Ring. The promotional material accompanying the leak mentioned that the first batch of controllers would coincide with the release of the "Shadow of the Erdtree" expansion in February.

However, the notion of a February release window seems improbable considering the lack of marketing from Bandai Namco thus far. It is worth noting that the initial expansion announcement was also delivered in a similarly understated manner. Despite the skepticism surrounding the leaked details, fans remain hopeful for a surprise announcement or a potential second anniversary release.

The leak also revealed the possibility of two additional themed controllers inspired by the characters Malenia and Ranni. These controllers are mentioned in connection with a "2025 Elden Ring major key beat or new game expansion." While the inclusion of a second expansion is undeniably exciting, the ambiguous nature of the mention implies that it could potentially be a complete edition or a standalone release.

As fans eagerly await official confirmation from FromSoftware or Bandai Namco, discussions and speculations about the content of the "Shadow of Erdtree" expansion continue to circulate. Much anticipation surrounds the potential inclusion of Miquella, a key character in the Elden Ring lore. Players eagerly await any additional details regarding the storyline, gameplay features, and possible new locations that the expansion may offer.

While it is important to approach these leaked details with caution, the prospect of the "Shadow of the Erdtree" expansion releasing in less than ten weeks is an exciting one. With the possibility of new content just around the corner, the Elden Ring community finds itself eagerly counting down the days until any official announcements are made.
