A week following the 2023 Game Awards, where expectations ran high for an Elden Ring DLC announcement, a hint of The Shadow of the Erdtree's potential 2024 release emerged accidentally. News surfaced about a collaboration between controller manufacturers Thrustmaster and Bandai Namco on an Elden Ring controller, raising the possibility of its launch alongside the anticipated DLC. Although the initial listing swiftly vanished, a recent reappearance with a specific release date has reignited the rumor mill.

Shared by Idle Sloth on social media, an image of the listing showcases the purported design of the Xbox controller. If the details prove accurate, the controller is slated for release on February 25, 2024—exactly one month from the time of writing. The controller features a black color scheme with gold thumbsticks, gold markings on the d-pad, and an intricate pattern covering roughly two-thirds of its surface. Initially spotted on Play Asia, the listing seems to have been unintentionally disclosed, as it has since been removed.

Coupled with the earlier Thrustmaster rumor towards the end of 2023, these developments strongly suggest the imminent release of an Elden Ring Xbox controller. The lingering question now is whether the controller's launch is linked to The Shadow of the Erdtree's release. February 28 will mark a full year since FromSoftware announced its work on Elden Ring's extensive DLC. While updates on its progress remain scarce, the noteworthy aspect is that the controller's release date aligns almost precisely with the one-year anniversary of that announcement.
