Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree will get a 3 minute reveal on Wednesday, Bandai Namco has announced. The growth has been in improvement for 2 years and, partially on account of its lengthy gestation interval, expectations are excessive.
The presentation will debut on the Bandai Namco Europe YouTube web page at 7 am PST / 3 pm UTC / 4 pm CET / 1 am AEST (Feb 22).

Rumors circulated earlier this 12 months that Shadow of the Erdtree will likely be rapidly introduced and launched in February, however From Software program’s mother or father firm Kadokawa put these rumors to relaxation earlier this month, albeit in a usually imprecise and businesslike means. Elden Ring launched on February 25, 2022, so the rumors largely stem from the expectation of an announcement earlier than the sport’s two-year anniversary.
Equally, in December Elden Ring producer Yasuhiro Kitao mentioned the growth was “nonetheless some time off”, and whereas it might be splitting hairs, that confirms to me that Shadow of the Erdtree will not launch in February. Extra seemingly it will be subsequent fiscal 12 months, beginning April.
If earlier FromSoftware expansions are any indication—notably Bloodborne’s The Previous Hunters—Shadow of the Erdtree will likely be very substantial certainly, and so many imagine, maybe worthy of a standalone launch. That is what FromSoft hype does to 1’s mind. We’ll discover out extra tomorrow, maybe even a launch date.
