As spotted by fans on social media and online forums, an unknown app was added to the DLC section of Elden Ring's Steam page. "It's curious because every 'DLC' listed here is preorder or paid content," mentioned user zeta50 on the Reset Era forum. While the specific content of this file remains undisclosed, it is the latest DLC file introduced since the Adventure Guide update in November 2022.

Elden Ring DLC Steam update could hint at Shadow of the Erdtree releasing soon

There was no mention of the upcoming Shadow of the Erdtree DLC in the file. Instead, the Steam backend update is labeled as "SteamDB Unknown App 2778580." The Shadow of the Erdtree DLC was announced approximately a year ago, and official details have been scarce since then.

However, a mention of the Shadow of the Erdtree's development progress was made in Kadokawa Corporation's Q2 2023 Financial Earning Presentation, noting that development was proceeding smoothly. The Steam backend update might hint at Shadow of the Erdtree releasing soon.

Elden Ring DLC Steam update could be part of Customer Lifetime Value efforts

While it may be possible that the Steam update hints at Shadow of the Erdtree's imminent release, it is important to note that the game's parent company, Kadokawa, stated in their financial report that they intend to maximize Customer Lifetime Value for Elden Ring. The company aims to achieve this by implementing strategies that enhance the overall gaming experience and increase player engagement with the game.

The recent addition of the "Unknown App" in the Steam backend could potentially be linked to Kadokawa's broader efforts to maximize Customer Lifetime Value.
