Developer FromSoftware announced that it is releasing a standalone multiplayer co-op action survival game that's based in the world of Elden Ring. Titled as Elden Ring Nightreign, it's one where players have to team up and fight against the Nightlord.
Elden Ring Nightreign features a multiplayer-focused return to Roundtable Hold. The game itself is set in a parallel universe to that in Elden Ring. It has players choose from a roster of eight unique characters with each one having their own unique abilities along with powerful ultimates.
Players go on a journey that takes them to Limveld. This is an ever-changing map where they have to make those split-second decisions especially when it comes to combat and exploration. They’ll also have to face a night cycle where the map shrinks with the coming Night’s Tide. Then at the end of each night players have to fight against a powerful boss and if they win, move on to face bigger challenges.
Each session ends on the third night when players must face off against the chosen Nightlord. While individuals have the choice to fight the night alone, there is always strength when it comes to numbers. To hurdle these challenges, they’ll need to cooperate and one way is to combine those unique abilities. Even if they fall, not everything is lost. That’s because unsuccessful runs give players relics which let them customize and upgrade their characters tailored to their personal play styles.
There’s no doubt that Elden Ring Nightreign offers an experience unlike ever before, especially by FromSoftwar. This condensed action RPG ensures that players won’t ever experience the same journey twice. After all, the enemies, rewards, and even Limveld itself are always shifting and evolving.
It goes without saying that defeating greater enemies and going into the more dangerous parts of the map result in more powerful weapons and greater Rune rewards. Players can also keep an eye out for Find Sites of Grace where let each hero level up and gain crucial power.
Each session-based adventure is similar to through an open-air dungeon and each journey gives players the chance to grow lasting stat bonuses. Successful runs against the night bring players ever closer to defeating the Nightlord and discovering the story behind each Nightfarer in this parallel world.
Elden Ring Nightreign is launching 2025 and to be available for PC via Steam. It’s also being released for PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, and the Xbox Series X/S.
