Summary

Elden Ring Nightreign Steam leak reveals DLC characters and bosses are on the way.
It’s unclear how many characters will be post-launch DLC.
There’s a ton of potential for FromSoftware crossovers in the DLC.

Elden Ring Nightreign seems to be receiving post-launch support, as a removed reference on the game’s Steam page mentioned DLC characters and boss encounters.

It’s common for the Souls games produced by FromSoftware to receive significant DLC content, with Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice being the main exception. Elden Ring added a massive chunk of gameplay in its Shadow of the Erdtree DLC, bringing in some of the toughest bosses in the series.

Elden Ring: Nightreign Can Be Played Solo Or 3-Player Co-Op But Not As A Duo

Elden Ring: Nighteign won’t let gamers play as a duo, only solo or a three-player party, and this was decided on for game-balancing purposes.

Elden Ring Nightreign is a game focused more on battles than it is exploring vast overworlds and soaking in atmosphere. As such, any DLC would have to use a different approach than the usual FromSoftware fare.

It seems Elden Ring Nightreign’s post-launch content will be more standard than anyone realized. According to PC Gamer, the game’s Steam page said “Additional DLC—Additional playable characters and bosses,” before it was removed.

Elden Ring Nightreign DLC Could Add More Heroes & Villains

The addition of new characters via DLC makes sense. Elden Ring Nightreign features eight playable characters, known as the Nightfarers, which the player can customize using unlocks earned through completing stages.

If FromSoftware really wanted to make bank, it could lean into Elden Ring Nightreign’s crossover potential and have Hunter from Bloodborne or Sekiro-style Nightfarers behind a paywall.

Elden Ring Nightreign Network Test Codes Being Sent Out; Download Size Revealed

Elden RIng Nightreign’s Network Test codes are being sent out, and there will be five sessions in February.

More interesting is the idea of bosses being added via DLC, especially as FromSoftware could potentially reach into its other games for content.

It’s possible that some of the enemies that appeared in Shadow of the Erdtree will appear as ultra-difficult post-story bosses that players can face in DLC. On top of that, the infamous Malenia could appear here.

The prospect of Elden Ring Nightreign being fleshed out with more content is exciting, as the original game was so jam-packed with content that there are a ton of great heroes and villains that could make an appearance in future patches.
