FromSoftware's Co-op Survival Game Elden Ring Nightreign Set to Receive DLC at End of Year
A major content update is heading for Elden Ring Nightreign, a co-op survival spinoff from FromSoftware, as The Forsaken Hollows drops on December 3. This expansion represents the first significant update since the game's launch and promises to deliver more grim atmosphere, inventive boss designs, and an exciting new set of gameplay mechanics.
The trailer for The Forsaken Hollows has given fans a glimpse into the dark, foreboding world that awaits them in this new content pack. Two brand-new character classes are being added to the mix: the Scholar and the Undertaker. The Scholar is an arcane magic user who excels at battlefield observation, leveraging this skill to gain incredible advantages on the battlefield. Conversely, the Undertaker class focuses on faith and strength builds.
Beyond its new gameplay mechanics, The Forsaken Hollows promises a vast new region to explore, complete with two brand-new bosses for players to take down. Fans of the original game will likely be relieved by this announcement, as it comes after weeks of frustration with the lack of information about updates from FromSoftware.
The development of DLC was revealed earlier in the year through a mention during Kadokawa's earnings report, which initially suggested that The Forsaken Hollows might not arrive until early 2026. However, today's confirmation is likely to bring some much-needed closure for fans who have been expressing their discontent on Steam.

! FromSoftware always knows how to deliver a unique experience and it sounds like The Forsaken Hollows is gonna be no exception. I mean, two new character classes? Two new bosses? That's some serious content right there 
! As someone who's been playing Elden Ring non-stop since launch, I was getting a little worried that we weren't gonna see any significant updates for a while. Glad to hear FromSoftware is stepping up their game 
. Can't wait to dive into The Forsaken Hollows and see what all the fuss is about 
!
fromsoft has been keepin us waitin 4 so long now, i was startin 2 think they were gonna cancel the dlc 
anyway, just saw the trailer 4 The Forsaken Hollows and it looks SOOOO dark & creepy 
plus, 2 new char classes?! the scholar seems so cool w/ that battlefield observation thingy 
& the undertaker class is like a total opposite w/ faith & strength builds 
got only 13 days to go!! 
and Undertaker, who wouldn't want to be a grave digger with all that faith & strength? 
plus, another whole region to explore? 
fingers crossed fromsoftware is finally delivering on the update front. 
been waiting for wks already and it's good to see them keeping their promise 
. I'm glad we're getting this update at the end of the year, it'll be nice to have something to look forward to before 2026 rolls around 
!
also cant wait to explore this new region and take down those 2 bosses...but why did it have to be at the end of the year tho? cant they just announce stuff a bit more regularly 
. And for fans who've been getting anxious about updates from FromSoftware? This is like, a Christmas present early 
! Bring on December 3rd and let's get this Forsaken Hollows party started 
hope this content pack delivers on its promises and doesn't mess with the game's balance too much 
I don't know how much more FromSoftware can tease us with... it's almost time for this DLC and i'm ready to dive back into the dark world of Nightreign 
co-op survival is one of my fave things in games, can't wait to dive back into this with friends
