Elden Ring Nightreign: The Forsaken Hollows DLC has already sold 2 million copies

After the overwhelming success that was Elden Ring, FromSoftware surprised many with the announcement and release of Nightreign – a co-op roguelite spin-off. Since its launch back in May, the title has received a solid amount of free post-launch support and even a paid expansion; the latter of which has already sold over 2 million copies since its arrival a couple days ago.

Making the announcement via Twitter, FromSoftware confirmed that “The cumulative worldwide shipment volume of ‘ELDEN RING NIGHTREIGN The Forsaken Hollows’ has exceeded 2 million units. To all the users who are playing this game, thank you very much. We hope you enjoy the new battles undertaken by the Nightfarers. We look forward to your continued support.”

For context, The Forsaken Hollows released just a couple days ago on the 4th of December, and so to have sold 2 million copies already is a major achievement. That said, reception towards the DLC is less-than-perfect, with Steam reviews currently sitting at a Mixed rating owing to the game’s new ‘Shifting Earth’ map being less-than-intuitive to navigate.

Still, 2 million copies sold for what is a DLC for a spin-off is highly impressive and seems to suggest that FromSoftware has ensured their financial success regardless of the direction they choose to go in.
