FromSoftware presented Elden Ring: Nightreign—a standalone multiplayer spin-off set in a parallel world to the original game's Lands Between. The project was announced during The Game Awards 2024. It is a survival game with a focus on cooperative gameplay, allowing team play with up to three players.

What we know about Elden Ring: Nightreign

In Nightreign, players take on the roles of Nightfarers, choosing from eight unique characters, each with special abilities and ultimate attacks. The game supports a cooperative mode for up to three players, who must collaborate to survive a single in-game day, fight various monsters, and ultimately face a challenging boss.

The game features a dynamic map that changes daily, forcing players to adapt their strategies to new challenges. The combat system deviates from the methodical pace of the original, offering a more aggressive style inspired by martial arts.

The cooperative multiplayer mode is a central aspect of the game, allowing teams of up to four players to explore the ever-changing environment together. This concept builds upon the PvP and cooperative elements of the original Elden Ring, which were well-received by gamers.

The events unfold in Limveld, a parallel universe to the Lands Between, offering a new perspective on the Elden Ring mythology. Players will participate in procedurally generated missions lasting three in-game days, facing increasing challenges and discovering new aspects of the game world.

Elden Ring: Nightreign Release Date

Despite previous statements from FromSoftware that a full sequel to Elden Ring was not in development, the announcement of Nightreign marks a significant franchise expansion. The game is slated for release in 2025 for PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S.
