Elden Ring Nightreign, FromSoftware's cooperative survival adaptation of its acclaimed open-world solo adventure, will receive a major expansion by year's end. Titled The Forsaken Hollows, this content pack arrives on December 4, 2025, marking the debut substantial addition to the side project. Earlier patches had refined balance for duo and individual playstyles, while also unveiling the intensely challenging Deep of Night difficulty.
The promotional video highlights the dark, eerie environments and creative enemy leaders typical of FromSoftware's aesthetic. Players can now select from two additional archetypes: the Scholar, a tome-bearing spellcaster who excels by analyzing combat scenarios for significant boosts, ideal for strategic gamers; and the Undertaker, oriented toward devotion and power-focused setups. The update introduces a fresh explorable area along with a pair of formidable adversaries.
Details about forthcoming expansions for Nightreign surfaced during Kadokawa's recent financial briefing, initially suggesting a possible debut in early 2026. This latest reveal should reassure the community, many of whom have been flooding Steam reviews with negativity over scarce details on future enhancements.
