Elden Ring Coming Off Strong This 2025
As the live-action adaptation of Elden Ring progresses, the video game series itself continues to thrive. Launched initially in 2022, Elden Ring quickly became a phenomenon, selling over 13.4 million copies in just five weeks. By April 2025, the game celebrated a monumental milestone, reaching a total of 30 million copies sold worldwide, as shared by the official Elden Ring X (Twitter) account. The game's success is further highlighted by its record-breaking 324 Game of the Year awards, cementing its place as one of the most acclaimed titles in video game history.
The momentum continues with the release of the 2024 DLC, Shadow of the Erdtree, which has also received widespread acclaim. FromSoftware is set to keep the excitement going in 2025 with two new releases.
First, Elden Ring Nightreign, a co-op action game set in the new realm of Limveld, where players assume the roles of Nightfarers battling to thwart the rise of the Nightlord. This spinoff maintains the essence of the original Elden Ring while offering a fresh multiplayer experience. Nightreign is slated for release on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S on May 30th.
Second, the Elden Ring Tarnished Edition for the upcoming Nintendo Switch 2 will offer the complete Elden Ring experience, including the Shadow of the Erdtree DLC, four new armor sets, and a customization feature for Torrent the Spectral Steed. Though not a launch title for the console, this edition will be available later in the year, giving fans another way to explore the Lands Between.
