π° What Happened
Fans are still making new content for Elden Ring Nightreign even though the game is no longer getting updates. One mod moves a whole map from a Dark Souls 2 add-on into the game.

The work takes a location built for one game and rebuilds it inside another.
π The Backstory

From Software games have big modding scenes, especially on PC. When official updates stop, fans often keep a game going for years.
Dark Souls 2 launched in 2014 and later gained three large add-on packs.
π― Why It Matters
