In a thrilling expansion of the Elden Ring universe, FromSoftware and Bandai Namco Entertainment have announced Elden Ring: Nightreign, a standalone multiplayer co-op action survival game set to release in 2025. This ambitious new project invites players to unite in a battle against an unforgiving world where only the strong—and the strategic—will prevail.
In Nightreign, squads of three—or daring solo adventurers—must survive a grueling three-day-and-night cycle, navigating a perilous landscape filled with escalating challenges. As the clock ticks, players face increasingly formidable bosses, culminating in a climactic showdown with the ominous Nightlord. The game will be available on PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, and PC via Steam.
A Fresh Take on Elden Ring’s Dark Majesty
This isn’t a sequel or an expansion, but a standalone experience crafted to test both skill and strategy. Players will return to the familiar hub of Roundtable Hold, now reimagined in a universe parallel to the events of Elden Ring. The setting, Limveld, is an ever-changing map where adaptability is key. As night falls, the map’s dangers intensify, and the mysterious Night’s Tide constricts the playable area, forcing players into relentless combat and exploration.
Players will choose from eight unique Nightfarers, each equipped with distinct abilities and powerful Ultimates designed to complement cooperative play. Whether engaging in tense battles or uncovering the secrets of Limveld, teamwork will be essential. However, the game doesn’t leave solo players behind—those brave enough to venture alone will find a challenge tailored to their resilience and resourcefulness.
Thrills, Rewards, and Redemption
With every session offering a unique configuration of enemies, rewards, and map layouts, Nightreign ensures no two adventures are the same. Success hinges on players’ ability to outmaneuver foes, secure powerful weapons, and accumulate precious Runes to enhance their characters. Even in defeat, players will earn relics that unlock customization options and upgrades, ensuring progress is never truly lost.
Each session crescendos with the defeat of a nightly boss, pushing players to their limits. Those who endure to the third night will face the ultimate challenge: the Nightlord. Victory promises not only rich rewards but also deeper insights into the lore of the Nightfarers and the enigmatic world of Limveld.
A Visionary Evolution of the Genre
Elden Ring: Nightreign represents a bold evolution of FromSoftware’s signature style. By blending fast-paced, session-based gameplay with the atmospheric storytelling and meticulous design the studio is renowned for, Nightreign carves out a fresh identity while staying true to its roots. The game’s structure—part roguelike, part open-air dungeon crawl—provides a condensed but endlessly replayable adventure.
