Dark Souls and Bloodborne developer FromSoftware has said development on Elden Ring's highly anticipated expansion Shadow of the Erdtree is "proceeding smoothly".
The company was asked what the development status of the expansion was during FromSoftware parent company Kadokawa Corporation's latest financial earnings presentation.
"We are currently working hard on the development of DLC for Elden Ring but we have not announced a release date at this time," Kadokawa said. It briefly mentioned this in its presentation too, saying "development is proceeding smoothly".
Shadow of the Erdtree was announced in March as a major expansion coming to Elden Ring, but FromSoftware hasn't indicated any sort of release window despite the game approaching its two-year anniversary.
A single piece of concept art was released alongside the announcement but didn't give much away, just showing a character atop a spectral steed looking towards the horizon that featured a dying Erdtree.
It will likely arrive as the only Elden Ring expansion (outside of a smaller piece of player-versus-player DLC) and be akin to the likes of Bloodborne's The Old Hunters expansion or Dark Souls 3's The Ringed City.
Kadokawa also said during the investors' presentation it was looking to "expand the scope of FromSoftware's own publishing", though it's unclear exactly what this means as of yet. A recruiting drive beginning in late October suggested the developer was going through a major expansion too.
The base version of Elden Ring returned a 10/10 in IGN's review. "Elden Ring is a massive iteration on what FromSoftware began with the Souls series, bringing its relentlessly challenging combat to an incredible open world that gives us the freedom to choose our own path," we said.

An Armored Core 6 co-op mod is currently in the works from the modder that brought you a similar mod for Elden Ring.
Armored Core 6: Fires Of Rubicon is already pretty damn cool as is, what with the giant mechs zooming about and making things go boom. But now imagine two (or more) mecha-besties zooming about and making things go boom together. Cooperatively. That’s what one upcoming Armored Core 6 mod aims to enable, and it’s coming from the modder who brilliantly implemented co-op in both Elden Ring and Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice.
Reigning Game of the Year, Elden Ring, is now available at a stellar price of just $19.99 at select retailers.

A bunch of MMO veterans led by one of the original producers of genre granddaddy EverQuest are working on a new online game that will use AI tools to create characters and have them interact with players. There's also mention of blockchain-like asset ownership and ambitions of being the next metaverse.
You remember that bit in the V For Vendetta film when the people of England—suffused by the fiery spirit of generally agreeable moderatism—all don their own V masks and take to the streets, proving that ideas are unkillable? Well now it's happening in Elden Ring, but with an upturned jar instead of a V mask and a big, starry monster in place of an allegory for the Bush administration.
Elden Ring isn’t exactly an easy game, but one player has been working tirelessly for the last year and a half to assist players struggling to reach the credits.

The impact of Elden Ring is still being felt as one modder has put the iconic Malenia into Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice.
An Elden Ring modder has taken the game's hardest boss, Malenia, Blade of Miquella, and put her inside fellow FromSoftware title Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice.
It always kind of felt like Elden Ring's super hard megaboss Malenia was a transplant from Sekiro, FromSoftware's fast-paced, parry-focused ninja action game. Her aggressive swordplay could just about do laps around my sluggish Tarnished—she almost seems to demand a Wolf's precision.
