FromSoftware is usually quite fair when it comes to content pricing. The Elden Ring Nightreign The Forsaken Hollows DLC is by far the heftiest dollop of new content yet, and its cost and ‘how-to-play’ status have come up regularly as questions.
Elden Ring Nightreign’s first expansion was revealed a while ago. There’s a huge weight of expectation on FromSoftware DLCs, as the company has such an unbelievable track record. Shadow of the Erdtree was just as good as the main game, and The Forsaken Hollows needs to be a reasonably priced piece of content to live up to previous hype.
How Much Does Elden Ring Nightreign The Forsaken Hollows DLC Cost?
Elden Ring Nightreign’s The Forsaken Hollows DLC costs exactly $15.00 or £13.00 right now.
It’s quite odd to see a game that doesn’t use the classic business-based psychological pricing practice: Making something one cent or pence cheaper to make it seem more inviting.
Either way, this isn’t too expensive, and with The Forsaken Hollows adding 2 additional characters, 2 new Bosses, a new Shifting Earth, and much more, there will be plenty to try out and do.
