During today’s State of Play: Japan Special, the studio unveiled Elden Ring: Nightreign, a new expansion that promises to drag players even deeper into the haunting beauty of the Lands Between. FromSoftware has once again lifted the veil on darkness. Just when it seemed the fires had faded, the shadows return and with them, something far more sinister.
The reveal trailer offered a first glimpse at the upcoming “Forsaken Hollows” DLC, showcasing eerie new landscapes, towering bosses, and mysterious figures cloaked in ruin. Early impressions suggest the expansion will push the series’ worldbuilding even further, balancing FromSoftware’s trademark brutality with intricate storytelling. You may watch the trailer for new DLC on below.
Alongside the trailer, the Collector’s Edition was fully revealed; a premium package designed for true Tarnished. It includes a striking statue of the new central figure, a lavish hardcover artbook filled with concept designs and lore notes, a digital soundtrack, and exclusive in-game bonuses that deepen the connection between the art and the experience itself. It’s clear FromSoftware and Bandai Namco are treating Nightreign not just as DLC, but as a full-scale chapter worthy of its own legacy.
While details remain closely guarded, Nightreign appears to explore the aftermath of Shadow of the Erdtree, delving into the world’s decay and the rise of a darker order. Expect new weapon types, spirit summons, and the kind of beautifully cruel storytelling that only FromSoftware can deliver.
Elden Ring: Nightreign: The Forsaken Hollows DLC is set to release on December 4, 2025, across PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC, marking the long-awaited return of one of gaming’s most haunting worlds.
