Whereas From Software program could also be turning a few of its heads towards The Duskbloods, the entire staff is not finished with Elden Ring Nightreign but, because the Japanese developer is engaged on DLC for the rougelike/souls-like that’s apparently slated to launch by the top of March 2026.
In keeping with a second-quarter earnings report, mum or dad firm Kadokawa revealed that Elden Ring Nightreign “carried out effectively past preliminary expectations.” The aim for the Japanese publishing conglomerate is for Elden Ring, Elden Ring Nightreign, and its DLC to achieve “additional gross sales progress.” To realize this, the corporate mentioned From Software program has “a number of sport titles within the growth pipeline, each for consoles and cellular platforms.”
“From Software program is at the moment creating Elden Ring Nightreign DLC (deliberate for launch in FY2025), Elden Ring Tarnished Version (deliberate for launch in 2026 for Nintendo Swap 2), and The Duskbloods (deliberate for launch in 2026),” Kadokawa mentioned within the report, which was launched on November 6. “A cellular sport for [the supernatural mystery monga] Oshi no Ko is below growth (distribution is deliberate to start in 2026).”
Fiscal years are damaged into three-month quarters. “FY2025” usually means the top of the 2025 fiscal yr, which is September 30 within the US. However as a result of From Software program and Kadokawa are Japanese firms, fiscal years are completely different there, with “FY2025” pointing to March 31, 2026; that is the top of the 2025 fiscal yr for Japan. To not spell all of it the best way out, however this means that Nightreign DLC ought to come out earlier than March wraps. Every thing is tentative, although, and till From Software program publicizes it, take all of this with a grain of salt.
Nonetheless, this might be excellent news for a Nightreign group that’s been clamoring for DLC for the reason that sport’s Deep of Night time mode, which made the rougelike/souls-like means tougher than it already was. Regardless of being effectively obtained by critics and followers after its Could 30 launch, Nightreign has slipped to a “largely optimistic” Steam ranking, with a handful of recent negative reviews criticizing From Software program for the lack of add-on content to the sport.
Elden Ring’s Nintendo Swap 2 port was moved out of 2025 to a nebulous 2026 window attributable to “efficiency changes,” with From Software program wanting to shine this model as a lot as doable. In the meantime, The Duskbloods, a Nintendo Swap 2 unique, seems to be a slight departure for the notoriously single-player-focused studio, however don’t fret: From Software program’s Hidetaka Miyazaki mentioned the staff is not abandoning what it is best recognized for; it is simply experimenting proper now.
As such, the Japanese studio reportedly has a multiplatform title that is up to now in manufacturing it may launch subsequent yr. From Software program appears very busy.
