FromSoftware and Bandai Namco issued a warning to Elden Ring players not to share spoilers from the upcoming Shadow of the Erdtree DLC. The post was made on social media ahead of the expansion’s release later this week.
Spoilers for the Elden Ring Shadow of the Erdtree DLC began to leak online, mainly from a Reddit user who posted screenshots and video of bosses. The user has also shared details of plot points and dungeons that can be encountered throughout the expansion. They claim their source is a friend who has an advance copy of the expansion. While there are summaries of the spoilers on sites like ResetEra, we will not be sharing any of these spoilers in this article.
While it’s reasonable to be suspicious of the validity of these Reddit posts, the warning posted by FromSoftware does suggest some degree of validity. The warning, posted to X/Twitter, encourages players to “be mindful of spoilers for those who want to tread into the Realm of Shadow with nothing but their determination and their minds unclouded.”
For those curious about the contents of the DLC but want to avoid spoilers, FromSoftware has shared a few details of Shadow of the Erdtree. Character and enemy designs have previously been shared on social media. Meanwhile, a detailed story trailer gave teasers of what to expect from the DLC, including a darkened Erdtree and the presence of Miquella.
Elden Ring is available on the PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X, and PC, and the Shadow of the Erdtree DLC appears on June 21, 2024.
