Key SteamDB Changes
In the past 12 hours, an entry marked "[DLC]" appeared in multiple categories, including "qa-release," "qa-debug," "dev-release," "dev-debug," and "development." Notably, this marks the first time since May 2023 that the "[DLC]" tag has appeared in debug and QA sections, indicating the final stages of DLC development.
Analyzing the update histories of games with recent DLC releases, such as Dead by Daylight, provides a timeline that aligns with the current Elden Ring updates. While developer practices vary, the pattern supports the theory that FromSoftware is gearing up for a significant content drop.
Speculation and Excitement
As speculation grows, questions arise about the nature of this DLC mention. The absence of previous DLC entries for Elden Ring aligns with Steamworks' default DLC management under a base game's ID. While cautious optimism is warranted, the evidence suggests the Elden Ring DLC could be the highly anticipated Shadow of the Erdtree or a new development from FromSoftware.
With the two-year anniversary of Elden Ring's release approaching, players eagerly await official confirmation from FromSoftware.
