Based on the current date of Wednesday, December 3, 2025, the servers for Elden Ring: Nightreign are undergoing maintenance or updates in preparation for the launch of the “Forsaken Hollows” DLC.
Here is the latest status and schedule:
Maintenance Reason: “The Forsaken Hollows” DLC Launch
The game is updating to Version 1.02.5 (or similar DLC compatibility patch) to introduce the first major expansion, The Forsaken Hollows.
Release & Maintenance Timeline
The update is rolling out globally right now. Depending on your region, the maintenance window and go-live times are:
The Americas: The DLC and servers go live at 9:00 PM PST (Dec 3) / 12:00 AM EST (Dec 4).
International (Europe/Asia/Oceania): The update generally unlocks at Midnight (00:00) local time on December 4.
Platform Specifics:
Xbox: Players may see the update earlier if using the “New Zealand” region trick (live as of roughly 3 AM PST / 6 AM EST today).
PC (Steam): Maintenance usually concludes and downloads unlock globally at the same time (likely aligned with the standard Steam refresh or the midnight EST target).

What This Update Includes
Once maintenance concludes and you download the patch, you will have access to:
New Region: The Shifting Earth map expansion.
New Nightfarers (Classes):
The Undertaker: A heavy-hitter focused on survivability.
The Scholar: A magic-focused class with new synergies.
New Bosses: Includes new “Nightlord” variants and the headline boss for the DLC (rumored to be a twisted version of Artorias or a similar legacy homage).
General Fixes: Patch 1.02.4/1.02.5 stability improvements for multiplayer matchmaking.
Troubleshooting
“Network Status: Failed”: If you cannot connect, the servers are likely still in the pre-patch downtime window for your specific region.
Missing Content: If you own the Deluxe Edition or the Season Pass but don’t see the new classes, ensure you have manually downloaded the “Forsaken Hollows” license key from your console/store dashboard.
