Elden Ring Shadow of the Erdtree release countdown – Exact start time and date

Shadow of the Erdtree is shaping up to be one of the biggest expansion packs in gaming history. Having been in development for over two years, the DLC will reportedly be as big as some of the base game’s largest regions, boast a more tight and in-depth experience, and have its own leveling system. Players will travel to the Lands of Shadow, apparently the dark sister region of the Lands Between, and witness some of the most gruesome events in Elden Ring‘s lore.

If that sort of thing captivates you, here’s Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree‘s release date.

Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree comes out on June 21 at midnight in all regions on consoles, and on June 20 at 5pm CT on PC. The exact release time may depend on your platform and region.

The DLC will be available on Steam, PlayStation 4 and 5, Xbox One and Series X/S. Pre-orders are currently open on all platforms. Those who haven’t yet finished the base game and fear they won’t do so in time for the DLC’s release, keep in mind there’s a DLC-exclusive leveling system that will function separately from the original game, allowing all players to start evenly when the DLC becomes available.
