The release of the Shadow of the Erdtree expansion may not signal the end of support for Elden Ring, judging from a recent statement by FromSoftware parent company Kadokawa Corporation.
In the company's latest quarterly financial report, it's highlighted how "various measures are currently in progress" for the latest action RPG developed by FromSoftware, including the development of the major DLC expansion to maximize lifetime value. This is an extremely interesting statement that suggests that something more related to the popular game may be brewing, although it is not clear if it is more additional content past the DLC or other media inspired by the game, such as an anime series.
Sadly, we still have no idea when exactly the Elden Ring Shadow of the Erdtree expansion will release, as the new financial report from Kadokawa does not provide any information on the matter. In the previous quarter's report, it was suggested the expansion may not release before April 2024, and with the lack of information on it, this is becoming more likely with each passing day.
While working on the Elden Ring major DLC expansion, FromSoftware is also hard at work on Armored Core VI: Fire of Rubicon, a new entry in the series. Launching later this month on PC and consoles, the game is setting out to be a solid mech action game, as highlighted by Kai in his preview.
