The signs that Elden Ring’s Shadow of the Erdtree DLC is coming soon are everywhere and nowhere all at once. Fans are latching onto anything and everything they can find to prove FromSoftware is about to drop the release date. This week’s clue comes from a tiny Steam update labeled as DLC, and, while it is slightly more credible than a date from a controller manufacturer, it’s still mighty thin.

A principios de esta semana, se agregó un nuevo número de identificación de la aplicación DLC a Elden Ring en Steam (a través de SteamDB), suggesting that FromSoft is preparing to list Shadows of the Erdtree on the store page. Naturally, Elden Ring fans saw this and immediately started constructing a theory that starts with an announcement at tomorrow’s Directo para desarrolladores de Xbox.

It’s not as big of a leap as it may seem: Elden Ring was originally announced at Microsoft’s Xbox E3 2019 press conference. I wouldn’t be surprised to see it at an Xbox show again, but not one that seems to be entirely focused on games published by Microsoft, whose lineup has already been revealed (we’re going to see the new Indiana Jones game and Obsidian’s Avowed, most notably)

El devoto fanático de Elden Ring me señalaría el avance reciente de una Figura del anillo de Elden from PureArts coming next month, but I’d say that’s a reach. And the whole thing where controller manufacturer Thrustmaster lanzó una fecha de febrero de 2024 para el DLC e insinuó un segundo DLC para 2025 (antes de eliminarlo todo) me parece lo mismo. FromSoft anuncia cosas cuando lo desea, y eso puede ser un martes cualquiera o en un gran evento; nunca se sabe.

A pesar de lo inverosímil, los fanáticos de Elden Ring seguir creyendo that we’re days away from the big announcement. Soulslike YouTuber Tormenta zio mentioned that Dark Souls 2 and 3 updated their Steam pages around two months before their DLC announcements and then again a day or two before their releases. It’s been more than a day since the update for Elden Ring, however, and we’ve heard nothing.

“Oh, is this the real Chapel of Anticipation this time?” Reddit user auri_l escribió en referencia al nombre del área de apertura.

En el mismo hilo, que tiene más de 500 comentarios, alguien mencionó a la persona que recientemente teorizó que la verdad se podría encontrar en la letra de Taylor Swift’s “Ivy”. Their post is tagged with “humor” but they still wrote several paragraphs trying to convince everyone that the pop star knew the DLC date two years before the game even came out. At this point, it might be a safety concern for FromSoft to no anunciar una fecha pronto.

En X, la gente publica todo tipo de gifs y vídeos entusiasmados por la pequeña actualización, incluido un vídeo de un jefe de Bloodborne who cradles a magical sword that was ultimately his undoing. The irony is so strong that I don’t care if the poster is aware of it or not. Let Me Solo Her poked his head into the conversation to drop the “I can’t. Not again. I’m… not strong enough” meme from The Incredibles. Everyone is replying to him with words of encouragement, probably because they know FromSoft always puts the hardest fights in its DLCs, so we’re going to need him.

The last official thing we heard about Shadow of the Erdtree is that it’s “a little ways off, but progress is going well” from producer Yasuhiro Kitao in Diciembre. And with no hint of it at this year’s Game Awards, an imminent announcement seems just as likely as it was at any time last year. Until FromSoft swoops in and drops a png on X or something, everyone will have to restrain themselves and wait patiently.
