Since its release on 25th February 2022, FromSoftware's Elden Ring Runes continues to be killing it, raking in over 16 million sales. Therefore, it is no wonder that Tarnished wants an Elden Ring DLC or expansion to provide them with much more reason to venture back into the Lands Between.

This article shares everything we all know about the highly-anticipated Elden Ring paid DLC, including release date speculation and which kind of content you may expect. Rise, Tarnished!

Elden Ring Shadow from the Erdtree Release Date Speculation

The Colosseum free PvP update (1.08) was released on 7th December 2022. However, pinpointing a release date window to have an Elden Ring paid DLC could just be as difficult as taking down Malenia utilizing a Dance Pad like a controller...

Judging by past SoulsBorne titles, we all know that FromSoftware generally takes under one year to make a big bit of DLC content, often viewed as full expansions, for his or her titles; aside from Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice.

Elden Ring releases on 25th February 2022, so going through some historical data on FromSoftware titles, we expect the sport's first DLC release before 25th February 2023. However, there is no official word around the possible expansion during the time of writing.

We will update you the moment an Elden Ring DLC/Expansion is officially announced and exactly what the release date may be.

Elden Ring Barbarians from the Badlands Leaked?

Some leaks have suggested that Elden Ring's first DLC is going to be called Barbarians from the Badlands. As a full-scale expansion, Barbarians from the Badlands is reportedly set away from the scope of the Lands Between.

If you paid close focus to the game's lore, you'd know the Badlands is how Tarnished got exiled after Godfrey lost his grace.

The Tarnished, including Godfrey, perished within the Badlands. During the Elden Ring prologue, Tarnished returned to the Lands Between. If the first Elden Ring DLC is, actually, Barbarians from the Badlands, it could take place in the past.

Keep in your mind that the little leaked details about Barbarians from the Badlands ought to be taken having a large helping of salt until FromSoftware or Bandai Namco reveals official info.

At this time, all Elden Ring DLC/Expansion submissions are pure speculation. Some accept it as true and could be centered on Melania's brother, Miquella, referred to as "the most fearsome Empyrean of all".

Alternatively, there's speculation that Elden Ring's first DLC might be focused on PvP, occur that massive Colosseum within the Caelid area.

Will Elden Ring Have Multiple DLCs?

While there's a chance developer FromSoftware could release several Elden Ring DLC, no details about how many DLCs the sport will have happens to be available.

Except for that Demon's Soul Remake, almost every other Soulsborne title has gotten at least one big DLC.

For reference, let's consider FromSoftware's SoulsBorne titles and just how many DLCs they've received.

Dark Souls - One DLC.

Dark Souls 2 - Two DLCs.

Dark Souls 3 - Two DLCs.

Bloodborne - One DLC.

Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice - One free DLC.

Our best guess is the fact that elden ring runes will receive a minimum of one big, expansion-size DLC and perhaps a few a number of minor DLC.

We will update this article the moment more details about an Elden Ring DLC open up.
