In a recent earnings report released on November 6, Kadokawa, the parent company of FromSoftware, highlighted the impressive sales trajectory of its flagship titles, including Elden Ring, Shadow of the Erdtree, and the multiplayer spinoff Nightreign. Among the financial insights shared, a particularly intriguing note for fans of Elden Ring emerged: a timeline for the anticipated DLC for Nightreign.
Future Developments in the Pipeline
According to the report, FromSoftware is actively working on several projects, with the Elden Ring Nightreign DLC slated for release in FY2025. This fiscal year is set to conclude on March 31, 2026, suggesting that barring any unforeseen delays, players can expect to see substantial content additions for Nightreign by that time. The report also mentions the Elden Ring Tarnished Edition, aimed for the Nintendo Switch 2 in 2026, alongside another title, The Duskbloods, also planned for release in 2026.
Fans have high hopes for the upcoming DLC, especially given the relatively swift development timeline compared to the more extended wait for Shadow of the Erdtree. With Nightreign already embracing a mod-like, kitbashed aesthetic, it is likely that FromSoftware will draw from its rich archive, potentially introducing new skins and bosses inspired by the Dark Souls series.
- New weapon types, such as light greatswords and backhand blades, are anticipated.
- Players may also see exciting new classes, like a Dryleaf martial artist.
- Map variety is on many wishlists, with calls for new camps and innovative map generation seeds.
While the report does not unveil any major new projects from FromSoftware, the mention of Duskbloods hints at ongoing innovation within the multiplayer realm. However, fans are eagerly awaiting a glimpse of the next significant mainline project, whether that be an expansion for Armored Core 6 or a teaser for a potential sequel to Elden Ring.
As anticipation builds, players remain hopeful for fresh content that will enrich their gaming experiences, blending nostalgia with new adventures in the worlds crafted by FromSoftware.
