Elden Ring Nightreign is dead, but modders are dabbing on its corpse, with one porting an entire Dark Souls 2 DLC zone as a playable map
Despite Elden Ring Nightreign’s discontinuation, the modding community continues creating new content for the title. Modder Doneda has released a significant mod that ports Dark Souls 2’s Frozen Eleum Loyce and Frigid Outskirts—areas from the Lost Crowns DLC trilogy—as a playable standalone map within Elden Ring Nightreign.
The technical accomplishment showcases Doneda’s expertise with Dark Souls 2 modding; the creator previously demonstrated their skills by restoring a cut sewers map from the original Dark Souls 2. A YouTube trailer documents the completed port, revealing the reimplemented zone in playable form.
The project represents broader trends in gaming community engagement: fans leveraging modding tools to preserve and reimagine content after official support concludes. With Elden Ring Nightreign’s servers now offline, such efforts ensure players can still experience FromSoftware content through fan-driven initiatives.
