The Forsaken Hollows is more an extension of the familiar Nightreign experience than a transformative expansion. It offers quality boss fights, the new Great Hollow region, and additional Nightfarers, which add value, but a lack of major innovation, limited fresh content, and a price that feels steep for what's offered make this DLC more suitable for...

Overview
The DLC will feature two new nightfaring warriors as playable characters: - Scholar: An academic who walks the Lands Between. Boasting impressive arcane levels, he gains incredible advantages through battlefield observation. - Undertaker: An abbess who was mandated to slay the Nightlord. Boasting impressive strength and faith, she sends enemies to the afterlife with ruthless efficiency. It also features the new Limveld enemy type, and a new area: Shifting Earth: The Great Hollow, a great cavity in the depths of Limveld. The hollow is strewn with exotic ruins and temples; sacred towers denoting the remains of an ancient people; and crystals that exude a cursed, life-draining miasma.

Elden Ring Nightreign: The Forsaken Hollows proved to be a solid expansion, expanding the base game’s content with new bosses and equipment, while also refining the gameplay mechanics that worked well, managing to entertain and engage players who fell in love with the base game’s gameplay loop for several more dozens of hours.
Elden Ring Nightreign: The Forsaken Hollows brings more of the same. The DLC includes two new nightfarers, two new nightlords and a new shifting earth.
The Forsaken Hollows is a solid, well-maintained expansion that does exactly what you expect. Nothing more, nothing less. Some players may feel the amount of content is a bit lacking, and it's certainly not a reason to buy Nightreign if the original didn't impress you. This is more of the same, but well-executed. Would this content have worked better...
The Forsaken Hollows expands the Elden Ring Nightreign experience with a new map filled with secrets and two truly memorable final battles. If you liked the main game, it's the perfect excuse to continue playing.
