Following its reveal, gamers are asking “Is the Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree DLC free or does it cost money?” For those wondering if players will be charged for the ambitious DLC, here’s the need-to-know information.
Is the Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree DLC free to play?
No, the Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree DLC will not be free to play at launch.
Players will need to pay a price to access the new Elden Ring DLC. It is not available for free, which may be surprising for players who enjoyed the free Colosseum update.
The price may be justifiable since the amount of content is expected to be significant. The new map is comparable to the size of Limgrave but a little bigger. Therefore, it’s expected to be a sizeable expansion that should hopefully justify the investment from players.
How much does the Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree DLC cost?
The Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree DLC will cost $39.99 at launch. For players who do not have the base game, they can purchase it for $59.99 on Steam or other console stores.
However, the Shadow of the Erdtree DLC is the biggest and most ambitious DLC project developed by FromSoftware. While some players might be unhappy with the DLC price, others will justify it based on overall content addition.
Moreover, the new ashes of wars and boss designs may also be attractive to the loyal Souls-like player base. The unanswered questions in the base game lore may also be answered through the upcoming DLC.
