The world of Elden Ring continues to expand, with confirmation that the highly anticipated DLC titled Shadow of the Erdtree is officially scheduled to launch by the end of March. This exciting news comes directly from parent corporation Kadokawa, which highlighted the game’s remarkable performance in its recent financial disclosures.
Kadokawa’s report noted that Elden Ring, including its spin-off Nightreign, has surpassed all initial commercial forecasts. This outstanding success has paved the way for new downloadable content, which is slated for release before the conclusion of the current fiscal year in March. The company explicitly stated its goal is to drive further sales growth for the original game, the Nightreign spin-off, and the forthcoming expansion.
Beyond the DLC, the development pipeline at FromSoftware is bustling with activity. The studio is actively working on several major projects. These include the planned Elden Ring Nightreign DLC, an enhanced Elden Ring Tarnished Edition intended for the Nintendo Switch 2 in 2026, and a completely new title known as The Duskbloods, also expected in 2026. This confirms that the developer has a multi-year roadmap to keep fans engaged.
This announcement follows last month’s news regarding a delay for the Nintendo Switch 2 port of the base game. FromSoftware issued a statement explaining the postponement, citing the need for additional time to fine-tune the game’s performance on the new hardware. While the developer apologized for the setback, it reassured players that the team is fully committed to delivering a polished experience, now anticipated sometime in 2026. A more specific release date for the port, however, remains unavailable.
