Elden Ring Coming Off Strong This 2025
As the live-action movie gears up for production, the Elden Ring video game franchise continues to thrive with new releases in 2025. Since its debut in 2022, Elden Ring has soared to become one of the most celebrated games of all time, with sales exceeding 13.4 million copies in just five weeks. By April 2025, the game's global sales reached a staggering 30 million copies, a testament to its enduring popularity and the dedication of its community, known affectionately as the Tarnished.
The game has also garnered over 324 Game of the Year awards, cementing its place in gaming history. The 2024 DLC, Shadow of the Erdtree, further expanded the Elden Ring universe, receiving accolades similar to the base game.
FromSoftware shows no signs of slowing down, announcing two new releases for 2025. Elden Ring Nightreign, a cooperative action game set in the realm of Limveld, allows players to embody Nightfarers on a mission to thwart the rise of the Nightlord. This spinoff retains familiar elements from the original while introducing a fresh multiplayer co-op experience. It is scheduled for release on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S on May 30th.
Additionally, the Elden Ring Tarnished Edition will bring the complete Elden Ring experience to the upcoming Nintendo Switch 2. This edition includes the Shadow of the Erdtree DLC, four new armor sets, and a customization feature for Torrent the Spectral Steed. While not a launch title for the new console, it promises to deliver the Elden Ring experience to Switch 2 players later in the year.
As Elden Ring continues to evolve across both the gaming and cinematic landscapes, fans have much to look forward to in the coming years.
