A recent new addition to the DLC section for Elden Ring on SteamDB might hint at imminent Shadow of the Erdtree news.
As spotted by X user ‘Burh’, developer FromSoftware added a new “unknown” application to the DLC subsection of Elden Ring. The new app was added on January 10. Other changes to Elden Ring on SteamDB were made on January 11 as well, but these are related to last week’s 1.10.1 patch for Steam – this patch updated the Easy Anti Cheat Service to support the new Steam OS. We’ve included a screenshot with the new “unknown application” in the DLC section below.
This new application might very well be related to the upcoming Shadow of the Erdtree expansion, which is said to launch next month – two year’s after the game’s launch. Of course, this could be something else entirely as well, but we’ll update you as soon as we learn more about Elden Ring and the game’s first expansion.
Elden Ring is available worldwide now for PC and consoles. Here’s what we wrote about FromSoftware’s masterpiece in our launch review back in February of 2022:
“Elden Ring’s story presentation stays true to what From Software has done for its previous games, with the introduction providing details on the world and its history”, we wrote. “Players are mostly left on their own to piece the rest together via environmental storytelling, item descriptions, dialogues with NPCs, and sparse cutscenes.”
We also wrote: “I tried hard to find any faults in Elden Ring, but no matter how hard I tried, I couldn’t find any outside of some technical issues that the developers could fix via patches. I firmly believe that perfection doesn’t exist and that it is always possible to improve, but I really couldn’t think of anything that Elden Ring could have done better. As such, the game wholly deserves a perfect score, an honor I would have given only to a couple of other modern games, not only for its extremely high quality but also for what it accomplished with its open world and for how it will surely influence video games as a whole in the future.”
