According to data from FromSoftware's parent company, Kadokawa, we might not be seeing the highly anticipated expansion to Elden Ring, Shadow of the Erdtree, as early as we might have thought.
As the financial results from Kadokawa read, it seems the only title coming from FromSoftware for the next year is Armored Core VI: Fires of Rubicon. In the report, Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree is listed, but it is under "medium to long-term direction."
It seems Kadokawa wants to maximise profits on Elden Ring by prolonging the life of the IP. This means that we probably won't see the expansion until around this time next year at the earliest.
At least FromSoftware fans will get a new title this year, as Armored Core VI launches this August. Still, for those who wanted to see what Shadow of the Erdtree was all about, this wait could be a painful one.
