Rumour: ‘Elden Ring’ Expansion “Shadow of the Erdtree” Coming February 2024?
Things have been pretty quiet lately for the upcoming Elden Ring expansion “Shadow of the Erdtree”, although thanks to Reddit, we may have an actual release date. Not only that, but for those fans who want to go the extra mile, there appears to be a special controller in the works, thanks to Thrustmaster.
The story goes that Philippines retailer Datablitz had posted a listing for an Elden Ring Xbox controller collaboration between Thrustmaster and Bandai Namco that’s set for release in February 2024. In doing so, the listing also showed company slides for the controller collaboration that is apparently set to “sync with new Shadow of the Erdtree expansion release” for the anniversary of the release of Elden Ring (which is February 25th). The listing has now been removed, though not before Reddit user ChiefLeef22 snagged screenshots and info.
Making things even more interesting is that Shadows of the Erdtree may not be the only Elden Ring expansion. An additional slide showed images of two additional controllers, with their release to “be synchronized with 2025 Elden Ring major keybeat or new game expansion.”
Obviously, From Software and Bandai Namco have yet to respond to these leaks (other than forcing the images to be taken down). It’s also strange that we never got any announcement at The Game Awards this year for the expansion, though Bandai Namco is probably wanting to surprise fans for the game’s anniversary.
Elden Ring is available on PC via Steam, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One and the Xbox Series.
Thanks to PlayStation Lifestyle for the additional info.
Fans of Strange Scaffold and publisher Frosty Pop’s apocalyptic Life Eater have another reason to keep coming back to the game, as the much-anticipated Endless Mode is available now. Best of all, it’s a free update!
The new endless mode gives Life Eater players an arena to determine how long they can evade capture while delaying the end of the world. Collect score points called ZEAL by building an airtight procedure around your sacrifices, investigate the lives of countless procedurally generated kidnapping targets, and survive as long as possible in your personal gauntlet of nightmares.
“We’re so excited to expand the playtime of Life Eater with a uniquely dark and intriguing systemic experience,” says Strange Scaffold founder Xalavier Nelson Jr. “You really just terrorize an entire city of people over the span of decades, now, and I can only hope that I don’t come to regret writing that sentence in a press release.”
For those not in the know, Life Eater (check out Aaron’s review here) is a horror fantasy kidnapping simulator where you play as a druid living in suburbia. You serve a dark entity by abducting and sacrificing specific but vaguely described humans every year to stop the apocalypse. Use a unique video editing-inspired interface to discover the intimate lives of your victims, one schedule block at a time. When the time is right, abduct them before authorities find out.
You can snag a copy of Life Eater on Steam.
