Titled Deep of Night, the free update will add a new high-difficulty expedition mode with stronger enemies, exclusive relics and additional weapon effects. This comes separately from Nightreign\u2019s planned paid DLC, which is supposed to come out in Q4 of 2025 and introduce additional playable characters and bosses.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Meanwhile, the news about Deep of Night has been met with <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/fromsoftware_pr\/status\/1961066458382835885\/quotes\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">much delight<\/a> among Japanese players on X, who are (positively) taken aback by the scale and pace at which Nightreign is getting new content.
