Bandai Namco Entertainment and FromSoftware have released a brand-new update for Elden Ring Nightreign, adding new features, bug fixes, and support for the title’s upcoming DLC, The Forsaken Hollows. Gamers looking to jump into the new DLC won’t have to wait long, as The Forsaken Hollows will officially release on December 4. Elden Ring Nightreign itself was originally released on May 30, 2025, and is currently available on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, and PC.
Elden Ring Nightreign‘s Forsaken Hollows DLC was first revealed Sony’s State of Play Japan broadcast on November 11, less than a month before its highly anticipated release. The DLC will give gamers a chance to play as two new Nightfarers, The Scholar and The Undertaker. Players will also be able to face off against two new bosses, who will likely challenge players in new and unexpected ways. Gamers who pick up The Forsaken Hollows will even be able to experience a whole new Shifting Earth, which will provide players with an extra challenge. The DLC will also include a wide variety of new enemies and points of interest, adding to the ways in which each Expedition can provide gamers with a unique experience. Many fans have been eager to get their hands on all the game’s new content, as a large portion of the community has been asking to see more bosses and Nightfarers added to the live-service title since its launch.

Elden Ring Nightreign Adds New Features, Bug Fixes, and More
FromSoftware and Bandai Namco Entertainment have published a fresh set of patch notes, which will be included below, detailing everything players can expect to see in Elden Ring Nightreign‘s latest update for December 3, 2025. In addition to adding support for The Forsaken Hollows, the patch has introduced a wide variety of new features and bug fixes, including some quality of life improvements to help manage relics in Elden Ring Nightreign. For instance, equipped relics will now be featured in a new display on the character selection menu, allowing gamers to view the effects of their current relics in a convenient way. In addition, players will now be able to name their relic presets, giving fans a quick way to differentiate between the unique loadouts they’ve created. Gamers will also be able to see one another’s relics more easily, as the relics equipped by each character can now be viewed in the results menu at the end of an Expedition.
The patch also includes a new feature that should enhance the co-op experience of Elden Ring Nightreign, as players with a personal objective that requires them to defeat a specific target while reliving a Remembrance will now be able to embark on Expeditions with players who don’t share the same target. The notes also mention that the developers have fixed a bug that would prevent players in the middle of a dodge or Ultimate Art from being healed or buffed. The developers have even made adjustments to the weapons that will be available in Limveld’s shops.
Gamers who are eager to jump into The Forsaken Hollows immediately may want to check out when Elden Ring Nightreign‘s DLC will release in each region, as the times will vary worldwide. It’s also worth noting that the major DLC will release at different times depending on one’s platform. For instance, PC players on America’s east coast will gain access to the game’s new content at 6:00 PM on December 3. Meanwhile, gamers playing the title on a console in the same time zone will need to wait until 12:00 AM on December 4. With so much content to enjoy and even more just around the corner, many fans are feeling optimistic about the future of Elden Ring Nightreign.
