On what date was Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree released?

Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree was released on June 21, 2024.

The expansion launched for PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Windows, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S. It is a large-scale add-on rather than a separate sequel, adding the Land of Shadow, new areas, enemies, weapons, bosses, and story content.

FromSoftware announced the expansion in February 2023, and its release date was later confirmed alongside pre-order information and special editions. The date can be confusing because launch timing varied by region and platform storefront, with some players gaining access late on June 20 in their local time.

The expansion requires the base game and is accessed through a progression checkpoint involving Mohg, Lord of Blood. Its release followed several years of anticipation after Elden Ring’s original 2022 launch.
