Overview
- Elden Ring Nightreign launched on May 30, 2025, as a standalone multiplayer spin-off optimized for three-player co-op.
- The game combines Soulslike combat, roguelike permadeath and extraction mechanics as players race against a closing ring of fire in Limveld.
- Participants choose from eight distinct Nightfarer classes, work to survive two days of scavenging and boss skirmishes, then battle powerful Nightlord encounters.
- Critics lauded its memorable co-op boss fights and addictive run-based loop while faulting its omission of cross-play and in-game voice communication.
- FromSoftware has committed to at least one expansion and ongoing updates to address community feedback post-launch.
