The wait for Nightreign’s first expansion is almost over. Revealed during State of Play Japan, The Forsaken Hollows brings a new labyrinthine region beneath Limveld called The Great Hollow and anchors it to fresh progression paths through two additional Nightfarer classes. The cadence is classic FromSoftware. A stark setting, new enemy families, and a ruleset twist that rewards mastery.
What is inside The Forsaken Hollows
Players will enter The Great Hollow, a massive cavity shaped by shifting strata and collapsing stone rivers. It reshapes sightlines and audio cues, demanding constant attention to footing and flanking. The Scholar leans on Arcane acuity and battlefield observation, turning knowledge into survivability and damage windows. The Undertaker blends Faith and Strength, reclaiming ground with pressure tools and utility that anchor team fights in co operative runs.
How to get the expansion
If you purchased the Deluxe Edition, you already own The Forsaken Hollows through the original promise of one expansion. The same content was available as a Deluxe Upgrade that now carries the expansion name. New buyers can choose the base game or spend more for the package with the digital soundtrack and artbook tied to pre orders.
Why this drop matters
Nightreign has a strong foundation of procedural tension, with roguelike loops that favor bold exploration. A vertical environment like The Great Hollow can reframe how players value builds. The Scholar rewards careful scouting and information. The Undertaker rewards forward momentum and control. Together they widen the game’s meta and invite new strategies for speed runners and challenge seekers alike.
Expectations and the road ahead
The base game cleared five million sales by mid year and publisher guidance suggests the expansion will be used to extend that momentum through the fiscal window. Whether more content follows will depend on the performance of this release, but the early December arrival puts it squarely into holiday playtime. The trailer shows bosses that leverage the cavern geometry with punishing sweeps and wall pressure. Nightfarers who love hard reads will feel right at home.
