SUMMARY
- Elden Ring Shadow of the Erdtree finally has an announcement.
- FromSoftware announced the release date of the trailer for the DLC on their social media.
Since its launch back in February 2022, Elden Ring has emerged as one of the best soulslike games. The game became an instant hit among fans and sold more than 20 million copies in the initial year of launch. The first free DLC of the game was the Colosseum, a PvP battle arena.
As the game has been so successful after the launch, it was obvious for fans to ask for more DLC expansions. The Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree was first announced by the developers in February 2023. Moreover, information regarding the new DLC was less and it was postponed many times, and thus fans of the game were left in the dark.
However, the long wait for fans now seems to end. The much anticipated DLC for Elden Ring is finally getting a trailer as confirmed by FromSoftware.
Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree’s trailer release
The official trailer will debut on Wednesday, February 21 at 7 a.m. PST, which is equivalent to 10 a.m. EST, 3 p.m. ETC, and midnight on February 22 in Japan, as announced by the developer FromSoftware.
Fans will get to see Shadow of the Erdtree’s gameplay in the trailer. The trailer launch event might also provide some details about the launch date of the new expansion. FromSoftware has confirmed that the launch event presentation will be three minutes long and will provide options for language subtitles.
The trailer will have its premiere on Bandai Namco’s official YouTube channel as they are the publisher of the game. Players can go to the official channel to watch it where the stream for the trailer is already up.

This trailer launch coincides with the one-year anniversary of the Shadow of the Erdtree’s announcement, which also happened a year after Elden Ring’s release in February 2022.
The developers have done a great job at keeping a tight lid on the expansion. They had only put out a cryptic message for the fans during its announcement: “Rise, Tarnished, and let us walk a new path together.”
This time also, the trailer launch won’t have many surprises for the fans as they shouldn’t expect to get to see deep gameplay elements of the game. This is because FromSoftware is known for showing only some glimpses of boss fights, combat, and the game environment during their gameplay trailer launch.
Fans react to the trailer release announcement
As expected, the gaming community is reacting positively to the Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree’s trailer launch announcement. Within an hour of being posted, the tweet had received over 2.2 million views, and at the time of writing, it had more than 14 million views.
The official announcement tweet on X is being flooded by comments along with a range of gifs, and memes, as fans express their happiness. User @Okami13_ posted, “GOAT SOFTWARE IS BACK“. Another user @HiddenXperia tweeted, “LONG HAVE I WAITED FOR THIS DAY”.
