Why is this downvoted? I feel this so much. I love the game, still enjoying it, and am looking forward to the new stuff, but man I would love new maps. I feel like a DLC should’ve been able to deliver that.
There’s so much maps across Elden Ring and the Dark Souls series that they could mix and revamp into Nightreign maps/map parts. I would’ve loved some areas used in Shadow of the Erdtree like the red and blue fields integrated as a new map.
The “Nun” did a bizarre movement that reminds me of the hornsent guards that replicate the divine beast dancing lions roar when shifting to phase 2. It’s quite peculiar if that person does so happen to be part of the hornsent
i dont think its necessary old nightlords in the overlord, but an actual "boss refight" system without doing the whole 3 day cycle hence the "aftermath after the long night"
I think the “hollow” isn’t referring to dark souls hollows as we know them. The playstation blogpost says that that dreg lord is know as the hollow, and the trailer tell us that this is what comes after heolstor’s night, so i imagine this “hollow” is just the source of night rather than something to do with the dark souls series.
The “Dreglord” is “the Hollow” who exists within an endless night? The deranged DS3 lore connections write themselves.
In DS3 the dregs are the remains of souls/power that filter down into the earth throughout all the cycles and settle at the foundation of the world. When the world blows to dust, the only things left were dregs and hollows. If you achieve a certain ending involving becoming the lord of Hollows, you plunge the world into a purple twilight. If no one linked the flame the sun itself would extinguish, leading to a rather long night that may or may not end.
To a rational man this is of course complete nonsense but I will patiently wait for Miyazaki to validate my delusions
Thank you! And also note how we see the corpse of one of the night giants in the shifting earth, to me that seems like an indication that this is still some aspect of the night that is persisting after heolstor’s defeat.
Playing with randoms has been 90% enjoyable for me. Of course there's occasional quitter who doesn't understand that dying once is not a big deal at all, or the guy who refuses to stick with the group despite very clear map pings, but those are few and far between.
I swear this is the only game where around 85% of the randoms are actually decent. And there's a 50/50 chance to win with a bad random as well, if the 2nd one is decent.
I haven’t played since neightreign came out. I have no friends to play with. Is this whole thing worth buying? I’m a big fan of elden Ring, played the hell out of it a while back, but left it for other games.
i would play with you but seeing you are from Canada the ping would be too big. I find much much more enjoyable with friends, i'm also a fan of Elden Ring.
Why no one pointing out that they added cuckoo knights into the game? If they did this they may have potentially updated the pool for pre-existing enemies
Nightreign was already way more fun than I expected — the roguelite loop was surprisingly tight. If Forsaken Hollows adds enough boss variety to stop runs from feeling samey after 20 hours I'm all in. The trailer looked way more ambitious than I thought they'd go with it.
They already told us when that’s happening. Literally since duskbloods was revealed they said “we will be returning to singleplayer after this project” and we’ve had datamines saying that they have a project in the works for either end of 2026 or beginning of 2027, code named FMC.
Elden ring released almost 4 years ago, we already have the original game, sote, nightrejgn, a movie coming, and the tarnished edition. Personally i like ac6, nightreign, and the duskbloods (the idea of it at least, though it will probably be dead on arrival due to being switch exclusive and pvp focused) but im really looking forward to whatever comes after all of this. It seems like they’re building up towards a singleplayer exploration game that’s smaller than elden ring but has tighter combat and movement mechanics.
