A new leak shows an upcoming controller partnership for Elden Ring. And of course, the images also reveal possible details for the upcoming DLC called Shadow of the Erdtree, which is causing excitement among fans.
A recent leak suggests an upcoming collaboration between Elden Ring and Thrustmaster, timed to coincide with the new Shadow of the Erdtree expansion, possibly for an anniversary celebration around February 25th, the original launch date of Elden Ring in 2022.
Early images of Thrustmaster controller designs for 2024 hint at this partnership, with a second collaboration possibly planned for 2025, coinciding with another major expansion or event.
Elden Ring DLC Leak Gets Fanbase Excited About Possible Upcoming Announcements
The leak, which first appeared on DataBlitz's product page before being quickly removed, gained credibility when backup images were also taken down. Elden Ring community member @Ziostorm1 shared a detailed overview in a tweet.
Fans are speculating about the likelihood of a major expansion announcement, possibly this month, as Elden Ring has a history of making last-minute announcements.

The dates for the Thrustmaster collaboration, if they are to be synchronized with the expansion releases, are not set in stone and may refer to announcement dates rather than actual release dates – allowing more time to build anticipation. We have previously reported that the wait for the DLC could take some time.
The Thrustmaster controllers, which will be a limited edition, feature gold accents that reflect the Erdtree theme. The second collaboration focuses on characters such as Malenia and Ranni, with leaked images hinting at possible design changes from Thrustmaster.
