Get ready for an epic expansion to the world of Elden Ring: Nightreign! The Forsaken Hollows DLC is here, bringing new challenges and excitement to the forefront.
When FromSoftware released Elden Ring: Nightreign earlier this year, it became an unexpected success. They took the intense combat and dark fantasy setting of the original Elden Ring and transformed it into a thrilling online multiplayer adventure with a rogue-like twist. Now, the game is about to get even better with its first official DLC, set to release on December 4th.
The Forsaken Hollows DLC for Elden Ring Nightreign promises to inject fresh life into the online spinoff. Players can look forward to new character classes, bosses, and a whole host of additional content. It’s the perfect gift for those who have been tirelessly grinding through matches and craving something novel.
But here’s where it gets controversial… What exactly is new in The Forsaken Hollows DLC?
The biggest draw of the DLC is undoubtedly the introduction of two brand-new Nightfarer classes: the Scholar and the Undertaker. The Scholar, described as an academic wandering the Lands Between, boasts impressive arcane levels, suggesting a mastery of bleed damage. Additionally, his ability to observe the battlefield provides an intriguing advantage, though the specifics remain a mystery.
The Undertaker, an abbess tasked with slaying the Nightlord, brings impressive strength and faith to the table. This suggests a powerful offensive capability, potentially coupled with healing abilities for teammates.
The Forsaken Hollows also introduces new bosses to challenge players. One of these is the Dreglord, who will serve as one of the two new end-of-night final bosses. Additionally, there are an undisclosed number of new field bosses, which could potentially include a fan-favorite character from the Dark Souls franchise. Atorias, the tragic hero turned deadly boss from the original Dark Souls DLC, makes a tantalizing appearance at the end of the trailer.
Furthermore, the DLC includes a new Shifting Earth pattern, which will dynamically alter the map’s conditions during play, and more points of interest to explore. Players can also expect a series of balance changes for the current roster of characters.
And this is the part most people miss… You will need Elden Ring: Nightreign to access the DLC, but you don’t necessarily need the original Elden Ring game.
The Forsaken Hollows DLC for Elden Ring Nightreign will be available on December 4th for $15 on PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X and S consoles.
