FromSoftware is keeping the momentum going for Elden Ring Nightreign with its upcoming expansion, The Forsaken Hollows, arriving globally on December 3 and 4 depending on your region and platform. Publisher Bandai Namco has detailed the staggered rollout, noting that PC players in certain regions will gain access slightly ahead of console players on PlayStation and Xbox. Priced at $15 as a standalone purchase or included in the Deluxe Edition, the DLC introduces two new Nightfarers named Scholar and Undertaker, fresh Shifting Earth locations, and formidable new boss encounters.
For players who have already burned through the base game content, jumping into the new expansion requires clearing a few specific milestones. To unlock the fresh roster of Nightfarers, players must first defeat Tricephalos, featuring the Nightlord boss Gladius, Beast of Night, before visiting the Roundtable Hold to speak with the Iron Menial. Accessing the new Balancers boss encounters demands a bit more progression, requiring the defeat of Tricephalos alongside at least one other Nightlord, plus the prior unlocking of both the Scholar and Undertaker. Once these conditions are met, a new chapel opens behind the Small Jar Merchant, granting access to The Great Hollows event.
This drop arrives as a welcome update for the community, offering a fresh reason for squads to jump back into the action together. As cross-platform players track the exact minute the servers go live, the conversation online is already shifting toward optimal builds and theorycrafting for the new encounters.
