Leaked images from Bandai Namco Entertainment and FromSoftware’s upcoming Elden Ring DLC, Shadow of the Erdtree, hint at the return of a fan favorite location.
The fan favorite location that is apparently set to make a return in Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree is none other than the poison swamp. A staple of the Soulsborne games, these cesspools are there to make the lives of players more difficult than it already is. Coming in contact with the poisonous substance adds to a bar showing the build up of poison. If the bar fills up, your character is effectively poisoned, and will receive damage over time until the status wears off or you use an item to remove its effects.

Much like Elden Ring’s Swamp of Aeonia, Demon’s Souls’ Valley of Defilement, Dark Souls’ Blighttown, Dark Souls 2’s Harvest Valley, Dark Souls 3’s Farron Keep, Bloodborne’s Nightmare Frontier, and Sekiro’s Ashina Depths, Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree also appears to feature a swamp that is bound to poison many tarnished souls after the expansion’s release on June 2, 2024.
Official Artwork
In addition to the leaked images, official artwork from Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree has also emerged courtesy of Bandai Namco Entertainment. It appears to hint at a new armor set that will likely be up for grabs in the expansion.
Previously, the Entertainment Software Rating Board (ESRB) rating classification for Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree revealed a detail regarding some of the boss fights featured in the DLC. The game portrayal of gore includes collectible items featuring severed fingers and tongues, as well as instances of boss characters severing their own limbs.
Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree is set for release on PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, and PC.
