Elden Ring: Nightreign is getting its archetypal meaty, proper, named DLC adjacent month, including caller bosses, caller shifting earth, and caller playable Nightfarers. The DLC is called The Forsaken Hollows, and it's retired connected December 4, 2025.

This comes from a trailer shown during today's State of Play, which showed disconnected a batch of clips from what's to come, albeit without a batch of context. There's a clip showing what seems to beryllium a caller Shifting Earth known arsenic The Great Hollow, which opens up a immense spread successful the mediate of Limveld with temples, towers, and crystals sticking out. We spot 2 caller Nightfarers: the archetypal is the Undertaker, which uses spot and religion arsenic her superior stats, and the Scholar, which seems to beryllium an arcane-focused magic-user.

There are besides 2 caller bosses that should beryllium acquainted to FromSoft veterans. Most notable is simply a glimpse of Artorias, taxable of the archetypal Dark Souls DLC Artorias of the Abyss.

A voiceover that sounds a batch similar Duchess besides refers to "the aftermath of the Long Night," possibly implying that this DLC takes spot aft the "end" of Nightreign erstwhile the Nightfarers person defeated each the Nightlords. There's besides thing astatine the opening astir the "Dreglord". As usual, Souls fans volition astir apt person to hold for the post-release lore videos to marque consciousness of this one. It's unclear however overmuch communicative contented this is truly going to add, oregon if it's conscionable the bosses, the characters, and the shifting earth.

Elden Ring: Nightreign is Bandai Namco's multiplayer riff connected Elden Ring, wherever 1-3 players tin combat their mode done 3 nights of exploration, loot hunting, and bosses arsenic they effort to instrumentality down almighty Night Lords. The crippled launched backmost successful May, and we gave it a 7/10, saying "When Elden Ring Nightreign is played precisely arsenic it was designed to beryllium played, it’s 1 of the finest examples of a three-player co-op crippled astir – but that's harder to bash than it should be, and playing solo is poorly balanced."

Since its release, FromSoftware has made a fig of equilibrium tweaks, added a duos mode, and updated with an ultra-hard trouble mode called Deep of Night for those who for immoderate crushed didn't deliberation the crippled was hard capable as-is. However, the past fewer months person been quiet, and fans person grown agitated astatine the deficiency of quality oregon updates, with FromSoftware leaving them to conscionable combat the aforesaid bosses implicit and over. FromSoftware moved to reassure everyone conscionable yesterday successful a fiscal report, and today's DLC announcement should assistance matters arsenic well. It looks similar the DLC volition outgo $15.00 if you don't already ain either the Collectors oregon Deluxe variation of the game.
