Elden Ring Coming Off Strong This 2025

While the live-action adaptation may take some time to hit theaters, the Elden Ring gaming franchise continues to thrive. Launched initially in 2022, the original game quickly became a phenomenon, selling over 13.4 million copies in just five weeks. By April 2025, it had reached an impressive 30 million copies sold worldwide, a testament to its enduring popularity and critical acclaim. Elden Ring has garnered over 324 Game of the Year awards, solidifying its place as one of the most celebrated games in history. Its 2024 DLC, Shadow of the Erdtree, further captivated audiences with its rich content.

FromSoftware shows no signs of slowing down, with two new releases planned for 2025. Elden Ring Nightreign, a co-op action game set in the realm of Limveld, invites players to become Nightfarers tasked with stopping the rise of the Nightlord. This spinoff retains familiar elements from the original while offering a fresh multiplayer experience. It will be available on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S starting May 30th.

Additionally, the Elden Ring Tarnished Edition is set to launch for the upcoming Nintendo Switch 2. This comprehensive edition includes the Shadow of the Erdtree DLC, four new armor sets, and a customization feature for Torrent the Spectral Steed. Although not a launch title for the new console, fans can look forward to experiencing Elden Ring on the Switch 2 later this year.
