ELDEN RING NIGHTREIGN

The Forsaken Hollows released in December 2025, adding two Nightfarers, two bosses, and a new Shifting Earth. Deep of Night also introduced a high-difficulty progression layer, while Duo Expeditions expanded multiplayer beyond the standard three-player format.

• The Forsaken Hollows: Added the DLC’s two Nightfarers, two new bosses, and new Shifting Earth content; The Salvation’s Standard-Bearers also arrived as an enhanced version of the Balancers.
• Deep of Night: Introduced a demanding mode unlocked through Night Aspect, with escalating Rating and Depth progression, stronger enemies and red-sheen variants, third-day Everdark Sovereign appearances, and exclusive Depths Relics with powerful benefits and drawbacks.
• Everdark Sovereigns: Expanded the rotating Nightlord roster with Everdark Sovereign Fulghor, Everdark Sovereign Sentient Pest, Everdark Sovereign Augur, Everdark Sovereign Fissure in the Fog, Everdark Sovereign Equilibrious Beast, and Everdark Sovereign Tricephalos; the returning Gaping Jaw and Darkdrift Knight also featured in the Everdark cycle.
• Duo Expeditions: Added two-player expeditions with rebalanced encounters, giving smaller groups a dedicated alternative to standard expeditions.
• Combat and progression tuning: The January balance pass strengthened Fighter’s Resolve, Cursed Sword, Aspects of the Crucible, Immortal March, spirits in Deep of Night, guard mechanics, several weapon categories, and selected Relic Effects while reducing some talisman effects. Earlier updates also increased solo-expedition Runes and high-rarity Relic rewards. A March hotfix addressed performance loss caused by repeated actions in multiplayer Expeditions.
• Launch additions: Limveld and the Nightfarer Duchess became available at launch, alongside solo Automatic Revival Upon Defeat and expanded Relic filtering, selling, favoriting, and preset tools.
