The Shadow of the Erdtree DLC for Elden Ring releases on June 21, 2024.
Launch Countdown to 12 Midnight Local Time
The launch countdown for the DLC on the PlayStation Store indicates a 12 midnight EST launch for those in the United States. However, we can expect the DLC to have a local midnight release similar to the base game's launch time.
Local midnight release would mean that the DLC will launch at midnight of your local region time. This means that eastern regions will get access to the DLC earlier than western regions.
