Elden Ring will soon celebrate its 2-year anniversary and fans are on pins and needles, eager to finally find out when the highly anticipated DLC Shadow of the Erdtree will be released. In the ongoing excitement, the wildest theories emerged regarding where and how the launch date was leaked. Yes, even Taylor Swift is rumored to have given us the inside scoop.

Now, the tweet from a manufacturer of collectible figurines has revived an existing theory.

Fans Think Elden Ring DLC Will Launch Alongside New Collectible Figurine

With the words "Tarnished, you've waited long enough" PureArts teased in a post on Twitter/X that their first Elden Ring collectible will launch in February 2024.

Some fans have been reminded of a rumor that surfaced in the past. Last year, there was speculation that a collaboration with Thrustmaster, resulting in an Elden Ring-themed controller, hinted at the DLC's release in February 2024.

The manufacturer of game controllers supposedly posted about a limited edition of the ESWAP X II Pro Controller in a Shadow of the Erdtree-Design on their website, with the product slated for release in February 2024. With this information being deleted, the rumor mill was fueled even more.

Even if such revealing announcements were not made by PureArts, the upcoming anniversary of Elden Ring seems to be a fitting date, which is why many fans continue to eagerly accept any possible hints.

In the end, it's all probably just copium, but how else should one pass the time while waiting? Well, you could finally play Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice, one of FromSoftware's other masterpieces. You probably won't have to wait for any DLC for that game... sigh

Let's hope that next time we can report on a foolproof announcement or even the DLC itself.
