Elden Ring Nightreign’s Forsaken Hollows soundtrack just hit every streamer

Why this small release actually matters to Nightreign fans

Bandai Namco and FromSoftware quietly closed the loop on Elden Ring Nightreign’s official music rollout on 16 February: Shoi Miyazawa’s Forsaken Hollows DLC soundtrack is now streaming on Spotify, YouTube Music, Amazon Music, Deezer, Line Music and other major services. The DLC album runs just over 44 minutes and – crucially – completes the Nightreign catalog so players can finally listen to the base game and DLC compositions side‑by‑side without hunting for uploads or piecing together fan mixes.

• Complete playlists are possible now: base OST + Forsaken Hollows can be queued in one place.
• ShoI Miyazawa’s DLC work is easier to hear in context: the new pieces sit alongside veteran FromSoft composers’ themes.
• Practical for streamers, lore listeners and speedrunners: official tracks replace shaky YouTube rips and fan uploads.

Why this matters now

This caught my attention because FromSoftware’s soundtracks don’t just decorate fights – they shape how we remember them. Until today, Nightreign players had access to the base game’s OST but were missing the official DLC cues unless they relied on partial uploads or in‑game files. With the Forsaken Hollows release on major streaming platforms, the game’s audio narrative is complete on mainstream services, which matters for anyone making longform playlists, compiling boss music mixes, or rerecording boss strategy videos with the official tracks.

Breaking down the real-world impact

Here’s what changes immediately for players and creators:

• Playlists and mood sets: You can build a full Nightreign “through the night” playlist that flows from exploration to boss crescendos without gaps or fan edits.
• Cleaner assets for creators: Streamers and video creators now have official, constant‑quality audio to pair with footage — avoiding shaky rips that used to be the only option for Forsaken Hollows music.
• Community remixes and covers: A single, official source makes it easier for remixers to reference stems and timing, which usually improves the quality of fan content.
• Immersion for players: Ambient DLC tracks help sell new zones and boss fights the way FromSoft intends; hearing them in sequence deepens the narrative texture.

Composer spotlight: Shoi Miyazawa

Shoi Miyazawa handled the Forsaken Hollows pieces, adding fresh textures to a soundtrack already populated by several FromSoftware composers. Miyazawa’s DLC work tends to emphasize atmosphere — longer ambient passages and layered motifs that give the new zones a distinct identity while echoing themes from the base score. That complementary approach is why this release feels like completion rather than an isolated add‑on: the DLC tracks sit naturally next to the main OST instead of clashing with it.

What to do with the new release

If you care about soundtracks, here are a few practical moves: update or create a “Nightreign: Complete” playlist on your preferred service and include both the base OST and Forsaken Hollows; swap unofficial YouTube rips in any of your videos for the official tracks where possible; and if you’re a lore podcaster or theorycrafter, use the DLC cues when discussing Forsaken Hollows to avoid jarring transitions.

The bigger picture

FromSoftware’s staggered approach to releasing OSTs — base game first, DLC later — isn’t surprising, but it’s worth flagging. The DLC rollout strategy keeps engagement high, but it also fragments the listening experience until the final tracks arrive. Now that it’s done, Nightreign’s audio identity is whole, which makes re‑listening sessions and archival mixes far more satisfying. For collectors and music fans, having everything served through official channels is a long‑overdue convenience.

TL;DR

Shoi Miyazawa’s Forsaken Hollows DLC soundtrack hit major streaming platforms on 16 February and completes Elden Ring Nightreign’s official music catalog. That means one‑stop playlists, better assets for creators, and a cleaner way to experience Nightreign’s audio world from exploration to endgame.
