If you’re planning to purchase Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree DLC, here’s a list of all the available editions alongside the pre-order bonuses you can get.

Elden Ring will get its first and only expansion, Shadow of the Erdtree, on June 21, 2024. From new bosses and map areas to weapons and builds, there’s a ton of exciting content worth checking out.

Unsurprisingly, you can purchase Shadow of the Erdtree DLC in three editions, each with a unique price tag, additional items, and a pre-order bonus. If you’re struggling to pick one, check out this list of all editions and exactly everything they offer.

Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree pre-order bonus

Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree’s pre-order bonus is the Ring of Miquella in-game bonus gesture. Pre-order the DLC before its June 21, 2024, release date and you’ll be able to use the gesture once Shadow of the Erdtree arrives.
