Despite just releasing DLC for Elden Ring this year, it seems that FromSoftware is not done with the series, as they’ve just announced a brand-new standalone experience dubbed Elden Ring Nightreign. Here’s our first look at the upcoming survival game.
Not A Sequel, Now DLC, But a Whole New Standalone Elden Ring Experience
Being marked as a cooperative survival game with action more akin to Monster Hunters, here’s your first look at Elden Ring Nightreign.
Updated with press release information:
“Players take on the night together in an all-new experience from the team at FromSoftware. ELDEN RING NIGHTREIGN will be a multiplayer-focused return to Roundtable Hold, set in a universe parallel to the events of ELDEN RING. Players must choose from eight unique characters, each with their own unique abilities and powerful Ultimates. Their journeys take them to Limveld, an ever-changing map, where they will have to make split-second decisions when it comes to combat and exploration in the face of a night cycle that shrinks the map with the coming Night’s Tide. At the end of each night, players will face a powerful boss and, if victorious, awaken to bigger challenges. Each session will culminate in the third night when they must face off against the chosen Nightlord. Individuals can fight the night alone, but strength will come in numbers. Nightfarers must learn to cooperate to take down these challenges, combining their unique abilities together for an unparalleled experience in the ELDEN RING universe. All is not lost for those who fall in defeat. Unsuccessful runs will grant players relics to allow them to customize and upgrade their characters tailored to their personal play styles.
ELDEN RING NIGHTREIGN is unlike any experience created before by FromSoftware, Inc. In this condensed action RPG, players will never experience the same journey twice as enemies, rewards, and Limveld itself are ever-shifting and evolving each session. Defeating greater enemies and venturing into the more dangerous parts of the map will uncover more powerful weapons and greater Rune rewards. Find Sites of Grace to give each hero a chance to level up and gain crucial power. With each session-based adventure being akin to playing through an open-air dungeon, every journey provides an opportunity to grow lasting stat bonuses. Successful runs against the night bring players ever closer to defeating the Nightlord and unraveling the story behind each Nightfarer in this parallel world. “
Aside from being marketed more as a cooperative experience with survival aspects, little is known about the title when it comes to the story. There’s no release date, though we do know from the ending of the trailer that Elden Rign Nightreign will be a cross-gen title, meaning it’s coming to PS4, as well as current-gen platforms, the PS5, and Xbox Series X|S, and of course, PC. It’s targeting a 2025 release window.
