Elden Ring Shadow Of The Erdtree's Release Date May Have Leaked

After getting absolutely no news regarding Elden Ring's Shadow of the Erdtree DLC for years, it seems to all be coming at once, as following the announcement that a trailer for Shadow of the Erdtree will premiere on Wednesday, the release date now seems to have leaked.
This leak comes from reliable insider billbil-kun, who has regularly detailed the contents of each batch of PlayStation Plus games each month for the past couple of years, and also leaked the existence of an Until Dawn remake well before its official reveal. In a new post on Dealabs, they have claimed that Elden Ring's Shadow of the Erdtree DLC could release on June 21 later this year, as that's when several Game of the Year Editions for the title (which includes the DLC) will release on multiple different platforms.
Before you run off to go jot the date down in your calendar, billbil-kun does have a couple of reservations about that particular date. While it seems likely that FromSoftware could launch the DLC and a Game of the Year Edition of Elden Ring at the same time, it's also possible that the DLC could launch by itself a little earlier. However, the presence of a new Collector's Edition does point towards a simultaneous release.
Billbil-kun doesn't know what exactly the Collector's Edition of Shadow of the Erdtree will include, but does confirm that it will include a physical copy of Elden Ring's Game of the Year Edition.
At the very least, this suspected leak means that Shadow of the Erdtree will more than likely launch either before or on June 21, especially given their excellent track record. That means we'll only be waiting for four months at most until we finally get our hands on it, which definitely isn't a lot considering we've gone without a sliver of official news for well over a year at this point.
If billbil-kun's claims are accurate, it seems very possible that we'll actually get a release date during the Shadow of the Erdtree gameplay demonstration on Wednesday. Suffice to say, if you're looking forward to the expansion, you'll probably want to tune into the official Elden Ring YouTube channel, as the trailer will drop at 7AM PST/ 3PM GMT. See you there.
