Elden Ring Nightreign is a standalone game arriving in 2025 where players will take on a new threat in a parallel universe. The PVE title has been developed by FromSoftware, is being published by Bandai Namco for PC, PlayStation 4 and 5, Xbox Series X|S, and Xbox One. While the game has been designed for co-op it can be played solo for those wanting a single-player experience. Players will be tasked with surviving a three-day-and-night cycle fighting bosses in a realm where the map continually changes culminating in a battle against a chosen Nightlord.
While an exact release date has not yet been announced it might not be too far off as a network load test is being put together for February 2025 when some folks will be able to play a portion of the game. It appears that particular test will only be available for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S players. Those interested in participating can register to find out when sign-ups begin for the testing phase here.
Description (via official announcement):
“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.”
