Elden Ring’s first DLC trailer’s arrival is exciting, but it may have also let someone avoid doing some good
A marrow escape, but hopefully this lucky predictor will donate anyway.

In case you missed it, first trailer for Elden Ring ’s Shadow of the Erdtree DLC is set to arrive today, February 21 , in about six hours time as of writing. The fact that it is actually coming this month was music to the ears of one Redditor, who’s managed to avoid having no choice but to donate their bone marrow to charity.
Yes, that thing we’ve all been anticipating with more nervous energy than someone facing Malenia for the first time since the calendar flipped over to 2024 might actually have stopped someone from doing something selfless. Thankfully, it doesn’t look like they’ve totally ruled out voluntarily doing it anyway.
Back on February 3, user Mirrakthefirst took to the Elden Ring subreddit to declare: “I am so confident that a DLC trailer will drop this month that I will sell my bone marrow if it doesn’t happen.” Well, by sell, they actually meant donate the marrow by registering with the American Health Resources and Services Administration, ensuring it’d be available to people in need of transplants.
A good thing, right?
Thankfully, a couple stepped up to remind the poster and everyone else that registering to donate some bone marrow is actually a very good thing that it’s well worth you doing, regardless of whether you’ve managed to predict a trailer’s arrival based on a bunch of possible hints and reading the vibe tea leaves.

To be fair to Mirrakthefirst, they have responded to one comment suggesting they donate anyway by saying: “I was considering it actually, I know people won’t believe my word, but I do a bunch of other charity stuff and there was a joke to be made about ‘going hollow’, but helping someone with leukemia or some other disease seemed like a good way to help my community.”
