Elden Ring Nightreign Network Test Reveals DLC Plans with New Bosses and Characters

During the ongoing network test for Elden Ring Nightreign, players discovered a now-removed line from the game’s Steam page that hinted at future DLC content. The text mentioned “additional playable characters and bosses,” fueling speculation that the survival royale will continue to expand post-launch. While the line has since been deleted, the inclusion of this information seems to confirm that Elden Ring Nightreign will receive more content in the future.

Elden Ring Nightreign is a standalone title, separate from the main Elden Ring universe, with a focus on live-service mechanics and online multiplayer. FromSoftware, the game’s developer, has a solid track record of supporting its games with DLCs, so it’s not surprising that Nightreign will follow the same pattern. The DLC is expected to bring new challenges, including additional bosses and playable characters.

The prospect of new bosses is particularly exciting, as it could mean the return of iconic fights from previous FromSoftware games. Elden Ring Nightreign has already featured a few familiar enemies, such as the Nameless King, and the possibility of more fan-favorite bosses appearing is a tantalizing one. Notable fights like Gwyn from Dark Souls, Lady Maria from Bloodborne, and the Looking Glass Knight could add a new level of excitement to the co-op gameplay of Nightreign.

While it’s still unclear what bosses will be added, there’s a strong possibility that the game will revisit some of the most memorable encounters from FromSoftware’s past. The developer has always been known for crafting unique and challenging boss battles, and it’s hard to imagine Nightreign would be any different. Players are already speculating about which bosses they’d love to see, and the game’s DLC could bring some of those dream matches to life.

Additionally, the possibility of new characters to play opens up even more opportunities for gameplay variety. Fighting against the new bosses with different characters would add another layer of depth to the experience.

As for the network test itself, while it's been an exciting opportunity to get a first look at the game, there have been some network issues, as expected with such a large-scale beta. Still, the impressions from players who have participated seem overwhelmingly positive, with many noting that the test is shaping up to be a fun and engaging experience.
