From seemingly improbable co-op rogue-like to FromSoftware’s latest hit, Elden Ring Nightreign surprised many with its sales success. Released in May, shipping over five million units in less than two months – not bad for a developer well-versed in single-player titles.
Kadokawa Corporation, the developer’s parent company, agrees in its Q2 fiscal year 2026 earnings results, noting that it “performed well beyond initial expectations.” Considering net sales and operating profit were otherwise down year-on-year, it’s worth further banking on.
To that end, the company is aiming for “future sales growth,” especially with DLC planned for sometime this fiscal year. It essentially confirms it will launch by March 31st, 2026, even though FromSoftware initially stated Q4 2025 on the game’s Steam page. The latter was quickly deleted, so take that with a grain of salt.
Of course, there’s also Elden Ring Tarnished Edition, a Nintendo Switch 2 port featuring the base game, Shadow of the Erdtree and new armor and weapons. Originally slated for this year, it’s since been delayed to 2026 to prioritize performance.
It’s exciting to hear that the Nightreign DLC for Elden Ring is set to expand the game even further! FromSoftware always manages to surprise us, and I can’t wait to see what new experiences they’ll bring to the table.
Absolutely! It’s fascinating how FromSoftware continues to push boundaries with their DLCs. I’m especially curious about how the co-op rogue-like elements will integrate with the existing gameplay mechanics. It could really change the way we approach challenges in the game!
I agree! It’s impressive how they blend new gameplay mechanics with their signature storytelling style. The potential for co-op elements in the Nightreign DLC could really enhance the overall experience, allowing for even more creative strategies among players.
Absolutely! The way they integrate these new mechanics while expanding the lore really keeps the experience fresh. It’ll be interesting to see how they further develop the world and characters in Nightreign.
