Elden Ring: Nightreign Dominates 2025 with Massive DLC Drop and Impressive Sales
FromSoftware’s co-op roguelike spin-off is proving the Lands Between still has plenty of secrets to uncover. Elden Ring Nightreign has sold 5 million units since its May launch, and the momentum hasn’t slowed—especially with The Forsaken Hollows expansion’s early December arrival.
Originally scheduled for March 2026, The Forsaken Hollows DLC released on December 4, 2025, bringing two formidable new playable characters to Limveld. Scholar boasts impressive arcane levels and gains advantages through battlefield observation, while Undertaker wields impressive strength and faith to send enemies to the afterlife with ruthless efficiency. The expansion also introduces two new bosses and one new Shifting Earth event called The Great Hollow.
The numbers speak volumes: Nightreign peaked at 313,593 concurrent players on Steam approximately an hour and 40 minutes after release, cementing its position among 2025’s revenue leaders. About 90,717 people played yesterday, showcasing impressive player retention seven months post-launch.
What makes this title trending NOW? Its unique fusion of roguelike and cooperative mechanics breathes fresh life into FromSoftware’s formula, attracting both Souls veterans and newcomers.
