Gameplay

Elden Ring Nightreign is a action role-playing game set in a procedurally generated version of Limgrave, now named Limveld, the first open-world area of Elden Ring . While the game has a single-player mode, it is intended to be played cooperatively by teams of three players who collaborate over three in-game days to prepare for the final boss. [1] Similar to battle royale games, Nightreign features a shrinking gameplay area which resets after players defeat the minor boss at the end of each in-game day. [2]

Development

Elden Ring Nightreign is in development by FromSoftware for the PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Windows, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S. [1] Bandai Namco Entertainment registered the trademark for "Nightreign" on 24 October 2024, [3] with it being revealed at The Game Awards 2024 in December. It is scheduled to be released on May 30, 2025. [4] The first network test will take place in February 2025 on the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S, with players able to register from 10 January to 20 January. [5]

Nightreign is being directed by Junya Ishizaki, who worked as a designer on Dark Souls , Bloodborne , Dark Souls III , and Elden Ring. Fantasy author George R. R. Martin, who wrote the backstory of Elden Ring, is not involved with Nightreign. [6]
