Earlier today, Kadokawa Corporation released its latest financial report, which includes a full-year forecast for the gaming segment. In this forecast, the Japanese company mentions that the decrease in sales and profit of the first quarter will be offset by the second quarter of the current fiscal year and onward by Armored Core VI Fires of Rubicon, Spike Chunsoft's new games, and Kadokawa's own mobile titles. The Elden Ring: Shadow Of The Erdtree expansion is mentioned only in the medium to long-term direction section, and the fact that the sales and profits it will bring were not included in the forecast for the current fiscal year seems to suggest it will not release before April 2024 at the earliest.

As already mentioned, there isn't a whole lot we know about the Elden Ring: Shadow Of The Erdtree expansion or when we will be able to come back to the Lands Between one more time. Last month, it was confirmed the expansion started development back in April 2022, so if it will end up launching after April 2024, it will have been in the works for over two years.

Even without the expansion, Elden Ring features a huge amount of content for players to sink their teeth into. With a masterfully crafted open world full of locations to explore and secrets to discover, and great combat, the latest game by FromSoftware is one of the finest games ever released, as I highlighted in my review.

I'm ok with that, Elden Ring was a bit exhausting to be honest, I'll probably feel more like going back for more in 2024.

That's absolutely understandable. They have Armored Core coming soon and despite Geoff Keighley being an AC hater..... I am pretty hyped to find out how to play it and enjoy its unique vibe.

Pacing is key!
