Thank you for checking out our PS Blog post. Elden Ring Nightreign is a co-op action survival game in which up to 3 players can band together, choosing from a cast of unique characters to face off against overwhelming threats. As the clock ticks towards the onset of Night, players tear through a vast open map on a thrilling 3-day expedition, strengthening their characters and building towards a climactic battle with the Nightlord. 

We would like to take this opportunity to thank the many players who have joined in since the game released at the end of May this year. Your continued support and enjoyment mean a great deal to us.

The base game of Elden Ring Nightreign has seen several updates since release, including enhanced bosses in the form of Everdark Sovereigns and the high-difficulty Deep of Night mode. We’re now pleased to announce The Forsaken Hollows DLC, which will be released next month, December 4. 

The Forsaken Hollows DLC will feature two new playable characters and two new formidable bosses to challenge. We’ve also uploaded the latest trailer depicting the Nightfarers in their latest struggle, so we’d be delighted if you gave it a look.

Lumines Arise releases tomorrow, November 11, 2025, on PlayStation 5. It’s been over 20 years since the original Lumines was released at the launch of the PlayStation Portable in 2004. Lumines Arise is a complete reimagining of the series’ block-dropping puzzle gameplay using the latest technology possible on the PS5 (with optional PS VR2 compatibility). We’re confident that you’ve never had a puzzle game take you on an emotional, sound-and-light-filled, synesthetic journey quite like this, whether you’re a longtime fan or picking up Lumines for the very first time.

I’m Game Director Takashi Ishihara from Enhance, and I’d like to take this opportunity, alongside Executive Producer Tetsuya Mizuguchi, on this release-day eve to reveal some behind-the-scenes info on the game’s development and share with you why we think Lumines Arise is so different.

You may be familiar with our previous title, Tetris Effect: Connected (available on PS4 and PS5, and also optionally playable in PSVR/PS VR2). Believe it or not, that game took a lot of influence from prior Lumines titles. In turn, Lumines Arise now incorporates many of the things we learned during the development of Tetris Effect, bringing them back into Lumines.

Tetris Effect and Lumines: A shared language

If you’re even a little bit familiar with Tetris Effect: Connected, one look at Lumines Arise and you can tell it comes from the same development team. Playing either one may make it seem like inducing synesthesia (a phenomenon where stimulating one sense involuntarily stimulates others simultaneously) was effortless, but it was actually incredibly difficult to pull off!

At Enhance, synesthesia is an everyday word and exploring this sensory crossover concept continues with Lumines Arise—we wanted every stage in the game to link the experience with your emotions as well. Tetris Effect: Connected did this too, and its Journey mode narrative (though subtle) resonated deeply with players, inciting some powerful emotions in players by the end of the game.

To do this effectively, we had to construct a shared vocabulary within the development team to communicate to each other the vision of what we wanted to achieve in each stage, the feelings we wanted players to feel, and whether or not we were meeting that goal. Being open and honest about what you’re seeing and feeling can be difficult in any work environment, but even with new members joining the team that weren’t part of Tetris Effect: Connected, we were able to do it.

This Tuesday, we’re bringing you a special episode of State of Play running for more than 40 minutes, focusing on games created in Japan and across Asia, alongside a few other exciting updates.

From beloved series to distinctive indie creations, the show, hosted by voice actor Yuki Kaji, will be packed with great games, interviews, and new looks at anticipated titles.

State of Play Japan airs on YouTube on November 11 at 2pm PT /  5pm ET /  11pm CEST | November 12 at 7am JST.
