When can you play Shadow Of The Erdtree?

The Elden Ring Shadow Of The Erdtree DLC will launch locally rather than globally on June 21. This means it will be released at your local time at midnight. If you're eager to access the DLC as soon as possible, regions like Australia and Japan will technically receive the DLC earlier.

You'll need to make sure you have at least 16.502 GB free to install the DLC on your device. If you need a refresh on the story and key lore behind Elden Ring before starting the DLC, check out our Elden Ring lore breakdown here.
