FromSoftware has officially confirmed that Everdark Sovereigns, the toughest bosses introduced in Elden Ring: Nightreign, will return to the game in timed events throughout July 2025. These limited-time bosses offer one of the most intense challenges in the game — and players who missed them earlier will now get a second chance.
🕹 What Are Everdark Sovereigns?
First added in Update 1.01.3, Everdark Sovereigns are elite versions of Nightlords — already challenging bosses in their own right. Unlike the eight base-game Nightlords, the Sovereigns are harder, deadlier, and more complex, often possessing:
-
Enhanced abilities and attacks
-
Multiple combat forms
-
Unique visual designs and lore
These Sovereigns are only available as special expeditions, which rotate weekly and last for limited time windows — making them highly anticipated by high-level players and completionists.
📅 July 2025 Everdark Sovereign Return Schedule
According to the official Elden Ring Twitter announcement, the schedule for the returning Sovereigns is:
-
July 10 – 17:
Gaping Jaw and Darkdrift Knight -
July 17 – 24:
Sentient Pest and Darkdrift Knight -
July 24 – 31:
Gaping Jaw and Sentient Pest
Each encounter promises intense battles, rare loot, and an expanded look into the deep lore behind the Everdark.
🔮 What’s Next?
FromSoftware has also teased upcoming additions to the Everdark lineup, though no specific dates have been revealed. Upcoming Sovereigns include:
-
Tricephalos
-
Augur
-
Equilibrious Beast
-
Fissure in the Fog
These powerful entities are expected to roll out in future patches, expanding the Everdark challenge even further.
The return of the Everdark Sovereigns adds fresh excitement and replayability to Elden Ring: Nightreign, rewarding seasoned players with brutal tests of skill and rich lore content. Whether you’re looking to rematch these legendary bosses or tackle them for the first time, July is the perfect month to re-enter the Everdark.
Stay tuned for more updates as FromSoftware continues to shape Nightreign into one of the most memorable expansions in Soulslike history.
