Arise now, ye tarnished! After almost two years of waiting, we finally have fresh details about Elden Ring Shadow of the Erdtree. The first DLC expansion for FromSoftware’s epic open-world action RPG, Shadow of the Erdtree will add loads of new content to the multi-GOTY winner and is set to arrive in the summer.

Elden Ring Shadow of the Erdtree Collector's Edition pre-order links

• Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree Collector’s Edition (PS5): $249 @ Bandai Namco Store
• Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree Collector’s Edition (PC): $249 @ Bandai Namco Store
• Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree Collector’s Edition (Xbox):
$249 @ Bandai Namco Store
Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree Collector’s Edition: £224 @ Bandai Namco Store U.K.

While the DLC expansion will be sold separately (for $39), and in a bundle with the base Elden Ring game (for $79), most excitingly is the reveal of the Elden Ring Shadow of the Erdtree Collector’s Edition that includes extra goodies like a statue of Messmer the Impaler.

The Shadow of the Erdtree Collector's Edition will cost $249 in the U.S. and £224 in the U.K. and is available on PlayStation, PC and Xbox platforms. The Shadow of the Erdtree DLC expansion is set for release on June 21, and naturally, the collector’s edition will be available on the same date, but pre-orders are open right now! 

Trust me, this is very much an item you’re going to want to pre-order as Elden Ring fans are some of the most passionate in gaming, and the Shadow of the Erdtree Collector’s Edition could sell out ahead of its launch. The Bandai Namco store  crashed when pre-orders when live under the strain of so many people trying to log on nab their own collector’s edition, so the CE likely won't stay in stock for very long. 

If you’re looking to lock in your Elden Ring Shadow of the Erdtree DLC Collector’s Edition pre-order ahead of its release date in June, then we’ve got all the details you need below including those all important buying links. There’s also a breakdown of what’s included in the box in case you’re still deciding whether to commit your cash.

Launching June 21 for $249, the Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree Collector’s Edition comes with a digital voucher for the Shadow of the Erdtree expansion, and a digital copy of the soundtrack. There's also physical goodies including a 40-page hardcover art book and a 46cm figurine of Mesmer the Impaler, a key figure in the new DLC. 

If you're just after the Shadow of the Erdtree expansion, that will cost you $39, or you can spring a little extra for the Premium Edition which includes a digital copy of the soundtrack and a digital version of the art book. The Premium Edition costs $49. 

You need the base Elden Ring game to play Shadow of the Erdtree so naturally there's a bundle containing both, it costs $79 for the standard edition, or $99 for the Deluxe Edition (which includes the digital soundtrack and art book). 

Whichever edition of the game you buy comes with a Bonus Gesture as a pre-order reward. But don't worry if you're planning to wait to buy the DLC post launch, it's already been confirmed you can unlock this gesture through gameplay instead.
