Elden Ring Nightrein's DLC Drops Next Month - New Classes, New Bosses, New Headaches

FromSoftware has dated the first DLC for Elden Ring Nightreign. The Forsaken Hollows arrives 4 December 2025 with two new playable Nightfarers, fresh bosses, and a world event that literally shifts the ground beneath you. Here’s the short version of what’s coming, the confirmed platforms, and a quick look at what it means if you’re playing in the UAE.

What’s actually in The Forsaken Hollows

The DLC focuses on replayable co-op runs with more toys and nastier obstacles.

• Two new Nightfarers: Scholar and Undertaker
• Two new bosses, including the Dreglord
• Shifting Earth event that remixes the map layout
• New points of interest across Limveld
• Trailer live on PlayStation Blog and Bandai Namco pages
  These beats line up with a short press outline and early store/listing pages. Expect the usual balance patch to land around launch.

Under the hood, the big change is Shifting Earth. It’s a timed condition that redraws routes and spawns, so your usual farming runs won’t be the same each session. For a session-based action RPG, that’s a neat way to keep squads on their toes instead of following a single meta path.

New Nightfarers: Scholar vs Undertaker

Two fresh archetypes join the roster.

• Scholar: arcane-focused, benefits from battlefield observation
• Undertaker: strength/faith bruiser with send-them-to-the-afterlife tools
• Built to complement existing roles rather than replace them
• Likely to shake up popular co-op compositions at launch
  FromSoftware’s short blurbs point to clear stat identities. If you’ve been hard-locked to support or mobility builds, this pair gives you new ways to anchor a squad or burst down bosses.

Bosses and the Dreglord

More bosses are on the way, with the Dreglord called out as a new “final boss” tier encounter.

• Headline addition: the Dreglord
• Plus “third-day” bosses and new field bosses
• Expect new weapon drops and materials tied to these fights
  If Nightreign’s current endgame loop feels solved for your group, this should add layers you can’t brute-force with today’s meta kits.

Release date, platforms, and price

Mark the calendar: 4 December 2025 on PS5/PS4, Xbox Series X|S, and PC (Steam).

• Date confirmed by Bandai Namco and platform blogs
• Steam and media listings point to a $15 / ¥1,760 price; local UAE pricing usually aligns with PS Store regional bands (TBC at time of writing)
• Deluxe/Collector’s owners get the DLC at launch; others can buy separately
  If you’re in the UAE, expect the DLC to unlock in the early morning UAE time on release day, in line with past PS Store rollouts. We’ll update when regional store pages go live.
