The world of Elden Ring Nightreign grows harsher and stranger as The Forsaken Hollows expansion lands on Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, and PC via Steam.
Designed to shift the rhythm of Nightreign’s demanding co-op survival structure, this DLC offers new routes, new heroes and an entirely new threat that twists the land itself. Veteran Nightfarers will feel immediately at home, but nothing in this expansion encourages comfort.
Below is everything arriving in this chilling new chapter, including the new archetypes, toughened third-day encounters and the map-shifting nightmare waiting beneath Limveld.
Two New Nightfarers Enter The Fray
- Scholar – Arcane Mastery With Tactical Insight – The Scholar arrives as a master of spellcraft and battlefield awareness. With abilities rooted in observation and precise spellcasting, this archetype supports coordinated teams brilliantly, opening new strategic avenues for the toughest runs.
- Undertaker – Strength, Faith And Ruthless Resolve – Powering forward is the Undertaker, a faith-bound warrior empowered by monastery mandate to destroy the Nightlord. She brings crushing strength and relentless frontline pressure, ideal for teams wanting a bruiser that controls the tempo of every encounter.
New Day Three Bosses Raise The Stakes
Nightreign has always saved its most punishing moments for the dawn of the third day, and The Forsaken Hollows expands that tension with two new boss encounters.
These fights demand synergy, build planning and communication, asking returning players to rethink their approach and avoid falling back on old habits.
However, one of the biggest additions is the introduction of a new Shifting Earth, a mysterious phenomenon that alters the map based on specific conditions. This system rearranges pathways, hazards, enemy placements and biome transitions, ensuring Nightreign’s promise of unpredictability remains stronger than ever.
For players who have mastered every inch of Limveld, the land itself now pushes back.
Expanding A Ruthless, Rewarding Adventure
Our own 4.5 out of 5 review of Elden Ring Nightreign highlighted just how powerful the game becomes with a committed squad:
“If you have a reliable squad to run Elden Ring Nightreign with, then this is as easy a sell as the original Elden Ring… Nightreign is so hard that it is a bit of a masochist’s pursuit. For the hardcore players, it is possible, but a team makes things so much easier, especially when you start to synergise your builds.”
The Forsaken Hollows leans into that philosophy perfectly.
