The announcement of the expansion likely won’t surprise dedicated fans. FromSoftware’s parent company, Kadokawa, hinted at Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree plans during their earnings report on November 6th. They initially said new content would arrive before their fiscal year ended in March 2026. However, they’ve now confirmed a specific release date, moving beyond that initial timeframe.
Elden Ring became a massive hit in 2022, quickly gaining popularity and winning numerous Game of the Year awards thanks to its challenging combat and stunning visuals. Its expansion, Shadow of the Erdtree, also received critical acclaim. More recently, in early 2025, Elden Ring: Nightreign offered a streamlined and enjoyable multiplayer experience. Now, players can look forward to even more new content being added to the game.
I’m so hyped! The new Elden Ring expansion, Nightreign: The Forsaken Hollows, is coming out on December 4, 2025, as shown in the PlayStation State of Play trailer. They’re even bringing back Artorias the Abysswalker from Dark Souls! It looks like this expansion will kick off a whole new wave of content, starting with a boss called the Divine Beast Dancing Lion, which seems connected to the Shadow of the Erdtree DLC. And get this – we’re getting a brand new Nightfarer to explore in Nightreign too! Can’t wait!
Some people waited a long time for this, but I only had to wait around 40 days, so I remember the first game pretty clearly. The Outer Worlds 2 is a major technical step up – which is good, considering it was in development for six years – but I’m especially impressed with one change that solves my biggest problem with Avowed. Surprisingly, it also reminds me a lot of Resident Evil.
You can find mint and sage in the gardens east of the monastery. The quickest route is to go to the library and find Brother Crispin. From there, exit through the door on the left, walk through the garden, and then turn north.
To find flowers for the confessor, simply exit through the entrance. Once in the courtyard, look around – you’ll find some dandelions and valerian in the corners, though there’s nothing marking them as special.
To begin the Mysteria Ecclesiae DLC, you first need to reach the Kuttenberg map and progress to at least day two of “The Sword and the Quill” quest – this is the main quest that starts when you arrive in Kuttenberg. Make sure you’ve spoken with Peter and slept for one night. Then, open the map for the Suchdol area; you’ll find a new icon – a golden cross on a purple background – indicating the DLC’s starting point.
Bethesda is currently juggling multiple projects. While they’ve traditionally focused on finishing one game before starting another, they’re now working on several things at once. As Todd Howard explained in a recent interview, a large team is dedicated to the Fallout series – including the online game Fallout 76, the popular Fallout TV show’s second season, and the newly released Fallout 4 Anniversary Edition. Howard also stated that The Elder Scrolls 6 is a constant focus for the team. On top of all that, fans are eagerly awaiting the next Starfield DLC, which is rumored to be called Terran Armada and should be released soon.
Bethesda’s Todd Howard recently told GQ that The Elder Scrolls 6 is still years away. He emphasized that fans will need to be patient, and suggested the game might not even come out on current gaming consoles. While he didn’t give a specific release date, his comments indicate a longer wait than many are hoping for.
I remember when Bethesda first announced The Elder Scrolls 6 way back in 2018! We’ve all been dying for news ever since, but it’s been pretty quiet, and honestly, a little frustrating. Then, out of nowhere, they dropped the Oblivion Remaster in April 2025, and a lot of us started thinking, ‘Maybe they’ll do the same thing with the Skyrim sequel!’ Now, Todd Howard, who’s in charge of the whole series, has hinted that a surprise release might actually be happening, which is incredibly exciting!
