Elden Ring's 'Shadow of the Erdtree' DLC Reaches 10 Million Sales Milestone
Bandai Namco and FromSoftware have announced impressive sales figures for their critically acclaimed title, Elden Ring, and its recent expansion, Shadow of the Erdtree. The highly anticipated Shadow of the Erdtree downloadable content (DLC) has now sold over 10 million copies worldwide across digital and physical shipments.
Released in June 2024 for PC, PlayStation, and Xbox platforms, the Shadow of the Erdtree expansion saw immediate and massive success. Within just its first three days, the DLC managed to sell over 5 million units, demonstrating the huge anticipation and player interest in new content for the game.
This remarkable performance builds upon the ongoing success of the base Elden Ring game, which has now sold more than 30 million units globally since its launch. The open-world action RPG has consistently been a best-seller and a major award-winner.
What's Next for Elden Ring?
Looking ahead, fans can anticipate even more from the world of Elden Ring. A version of the game for the upcoming Nintendo Switch 2 console is planned for release in 2025. This new launch will also bring additional content to all existing platforms, promising fresh experiences for the entire player base.
Beyond gaming, the Elden Ring universe is expanding into other media. Bandai Namco and A24 announced in late May that a film adaptation of Elden Ring is in the works. Acclaimed director Alex Garland, known for his work on thrillers like 'Ex Machina' and action films such as 'Civil War' starring Kirsten Dunst, is set to direct the movie.
The continued strong sales for both the base game and its first major expansion solidify Elden Ring's position as a cultural phenomenon in the gaming world. With a movie adaptation and future game content on the horizon, the Lands Between continue to thrive and draw in more fans.
