Kadokawa, the parent company of Elden Ring: Nightreign developer FromSoftware, has confirmed we'll get new DLC for the multiplayer game by the end of March 2026, as unhappy players leave negative reviews on Steam. "We are aiming for further sales growth for Elden Ring Nightreign, original Elden Ring, and its DLC," the company said in its recent financial report to investors (thanks, GamesRadar+). "We have multiple game titles in the development pipeline. FromSoftware is currently developing Elden Ring Nightreign DLC (planned for release in FY2025) Elden Ring Tarnished Edition (planned for release in 2026 for Nintendo Switch 2), and The Duskbloods (planned for release in 2026)." FY2025 in this instance means by the end of Kadokawa's current financial year, so by March 31, 2026. But while the financial report revealed that Nightreign had "performed well beyond initial expectations" and confirmed the DLC — described on the Steam storefront as being available "by Q4 2025" — is still on the way, recent user reviews for the Deluxe Upgrade Pack have dropped to a 'Mostly Negative' rating as players express their frustration at the lack of tangible news. "We're mid-Q4 2025. No news, no teasers, total silence," wrote one negative reviewer on November 1. "If you're thinking about buying Deluxe Upgrade, wait until we get actual news about the content. I can't recommend you a promise." Another said: "It's been half a year now, still no dlc or any new characters in sight even though they got leaked a bit ago. Right now this is a complete scam, as even the soundtrack isnt even full." Someone else said they would change their negative review to positive "once FromSoft announces something." Nightreign's ultra-hard difficulty mode, Deep of Night, released back in September, having been discovered by dataminers back in August. Beyond that, though, there's been very little firm news on what additional content could be on the way. It's worth noting that even though the Kadokawa financial report guarantees the release of the Nightreign DLC by the end of March 2026, that doesn't necessarily mean it won't release before the end of calendar year 2025. "When Elden Ring Nightreign is played exactly as it was designed to be played, it’s one of the finest examples of a three-player co-op game around," we wrote in IGN's 7/10 Elden Ring: Nightreign review. "But a lack of crossplay, duo matchmaking, and built-in communication tools makes it hard to create the conditions needed to have this kind of experience unless you’re bringing two real-life friends on every run."

Arc Raiders has had another bumper weekend, once again breaking its own concurrent record on Steam. Within a day of its release, Embark Studio's new extraction shooter hit a Steam concurrent peak player count of 264,673, making it one of the biggest extraction shooters ever on Valve's platform. And now it's topped even that record over the weekend, hitting a concurrent peak of 462,488 players according to Valve's official figures. Yesterday, November 9, Arc Raiders had a higher concurrent peak than Battlefield 6 (441,035), and placed behind only the eternally popular Counter-Strike 2, Dota 2, and PUBG. Of course, Arc Raiders' true concurrent player peak will be higher, given the game is also available on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X and S, but neither Sony nor Microsoft make their player numbers public. As Arc Raiders tears up Steam's most-played games list, streamer Shroud has continued to call on his fans to vote for it as Game of the Year 2025 over Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, calling multiplayer gamers "the *********" (even though research shows that it's mostly multiplayer games that retain high player counts). "I thought I was only going to play five or six hours of Arc Raiders on launch day before sitting down to write this initial review in progress, but after just a handful of matches, I suddenly couldn’t pull myself away – and before I realized it, I’d been playing for 10 hours," we wrote in IGN's Arc Raiders review-in-progress. "This is without question the most hooked I’ve found myself on an extraction shooter (and I’ve played a lot of them), with clean and tense gunplay, a progression system that’s been incredibly satisfying so far, and a loot game that has me sweating over what to put in my backpack and what to leave behind."

The Tribute to Toledo quest is a relatively simple one in ARC Raiders, but completing the single task can be extremely difficult without a few tips and tricks. Tribute to Toledo is unique in the sense that you can complete it without having to do anything extra. The quest gets completed when you provide Celester with a Power Rod. Let's look at how you can find the item on your adventure. Table of contentsARC Raiders Tribute to Toledo quest walkthroughPower Rod locationARC Raiders Tribute to Toledo quest rewardsARC Raiders Tribute to Toledo quest walkthrough Tribute to Toledo has only one task. Get a Power Rod for Celeste The easiest way to get a Power Rod is by recycling the Snap Hook. Yes, the legendary item is handy and quite important while moving across the map. However, you'll get a guaranteed Power Rod when you recycle a Snap Hook. That will be enough for you to complete the Tribute to Toledo quest. Tribute to Toledo in ARC Raiders. Screenshot by Destructoid So, how do you get a Snap Hook? The easiest way to get a Snap Hook is to complete the Lost in Transmission quest. You'll get a Snap Hook after finishing that quest, and then recycle it from your inventory to get a Power Rod. If you have the Tribute to Toledo quest active, speak with Celeste to hand her the item. You can also get a Snap Hook by looting the Harvester. This is an arduous task as the Queen guards the Harvester. Defeating the Queen is arguably the most challenging task, but you'll get a guaranteed Snap Hook upon success. Power Rod location You can get a Power Rod on the map, but it spawns randomly. The best area appears to be the Power Generation Complex in the north of Dam Battlegrounds. I have marked its location to help you find the place easily. Power Generation Complex location in ARC Raiders. Screenshot and Remix by Destructoid There are several generators and circuits in the Power Generation Complex that you can loot. Some of them can drop Power Rod if you're lucky enough. However, the rate of spawn appears to be relatively low because I have found just two of them in over 20 attempts. There's also a possibility that someone might have looted it before I can reach there in a raid.
