Nightreign The Forsaken Hollows adds two Nightfarers

FromSoftware and Bandai Namco released Elden Ring Nightreign: The Forsaken Hollows on December 4, 2025. The paid expansion broadens the cooperative expedition game with two Nightfarers, additional bosses and a new Shifting Earth condition.

Nightreign The Forsaken Hollows: confirmed details

Scholar is an arcane specialist who gains advantages through observation, while Undertaker combines faith with direct physical strength. The DLC adds two third-day bosses, new field threats, points of interest and the Great Hollows Shifting Earth. Owners must satisfy in-game unlock conditions, including defeating Tricephalos, before all added content becomes available.

What changes for players

Two new roles create more composition questions than a single weapon pack would. Scholar rewards teams that can exploit information and status interactions; Undertaker supplies a more forceful frontline option. The Great Hollows changes routes and risk calculations, which matters in a game where each day has limited time and a bad detour can weaken the final fight.

Availability and lasting context

The DLC is included with specified premium editions and can be purchased separately for the Standard Edition. Console owners may need to download the entitlement manually. Post-launch updates added Forsaken Hollows encounters to Deep of Night under ownership and matchmaking conditions, so the current integration is broader than the original launch state.

This report records the release state at publication. Later patches can alter balance, access or individual systems without changing the documented launch history. Announced features, paid additions and community expectations are kept separate from content that was actually released.
