Kadokawa, the father or mother firm of Elden Ring: Nightreign developer FromSoftware, has confirmed we’ll get new DLC for the multiplayer recreation by the tip of March 2026, as sad gamers go away unfavorable opinions on Steam.
“We’re aiming for additional gross sales development for Elden Ring Nightreign, unique Elden Ring, and its DLC,” the corporate mentioned in its recent financial report to investors (thanks, GamesRadar+). “We have now a number of recreation titles within the growth pipeline. FromSoftware is presently creating Elden Ring Nightreign DLC (deliberate for launch in FY2025) Elden Ring Tarnished Version (deliberate for launch in 2026 for Nintendo Switch 2), and The Duskbloods (deliberate for launch in 2026).”
FY2025 on this occasion means by the tip of Kadokawa’s present monetary 12 months, so by March 31, 2026. However whereas the monetary report revealed that Nightreign had “carried out properly past preliminary expectations” and confirmed the DLC — described on the Steam storefront as being obtainable “by This autumn 2025” — continues to be on the best way, current consumer opinions for the Deluxe Improve Pack have dropped to a ‘Principally Negative’ score as gamers categorical their frustration on the lack of tangible information.
“We’re mid-This autumn 2025. No information, no teasers, whole silence,” wrote one unfavorable reviewer on November 1. “In case you’re enthusiastic about shopping for Deluxe Improve, wait till we get precise information in regards to the content material. I am unable to advocate you a promise.” One other said: “It has been half a 12 months now, nonetheless no dlc or any new characters in sight although they received leaked a bit in the past. Proper now it is a full rip-off, as even the soundtrack isnt even full.”

Past that, although, there’s been little or no agency information on what further content material could possibly be on the best way. It is value noting that although the Kadokawa monetary report ensures the discharge of the Nightreign DLC by the tip of March 2026, that does not essentially imply it will not launch earlier than the tip of calendar 12 months 2025.
“When Elden Ring Nightreign is performed precisely as it was designed to be performed, it’s one of the best examples of a three-player co-op recreation round,” we wrote in IGN’s 7/10 Elden Ring: Nightreign evaluation. “However a scarcity of crossplay, duo matchmaking, and built-in communication instruments makes it exhausting to create the situations wanted to have this sort of expertise until you’re bringing two real-life buddies on each run.”
