FromSoftware is not slowing down, with two exciting releases planned for 2025. The first is "Elden Ring Nightreign," a co-op action game set in the new realm of Limveld. Players will assume the roles of Nightfarers tasked with stopping the rise of the Nightlord. This spinoff promises a fresh multiplayer experience while retaining elements familiar to fans of the original game. It will be available on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S, launching on May 30th.

Additionally, the "Elden Ring Tarnished Edition" will be released for the upcoming Nintendo Switch 2. This complete edition includes the "Shadow of the Erdtree" DLC, four new armor sets, and a customization feature for Torrent the Spectral Steed. While not a launch title for the new console, it will be a welcome addition for fans eager to explore the Lands Between on the go.
