Release Date: May 30, 2025
A spin-off of the best-selling Elden Ring, offering action RPG and extraction game mechanics similar to Dark and Darker. Elden Ring: Nightreign allows for singleplayer, but was made primarily for online co-op for up to 3 people. The main goal of the game is to survive a 3-day cycle featuring boss fights.
Elden Ring: Nightreign is a spin-off of the best-selling Elden Ring souls game. The game was developed by FromSoftware studio, and its release was handled by Bandai Namco Entertainment. This time, the authors prepared an action RPG with gameplay ideas reminiscent of extraction games like Dark and Darker or Dungeonborne.
In Elden Ring: Nightreign we view the events from a third-person perspective (TPP). The game provides us with characters varied in terms of combat skills.
During the game, we traverse Limveld and fight against opponents, collecting better equipment along the way. As we progress, the map gradually becomes smaller, and as the night draws to a close, we come face to face with a powerful boss.
The victory allows us to continue the cycle until the culminating battle with the chosen Nightlord. However, if we fall on the battlefield, we lose the spoils we have gained. Both the appearance of the land and the enemies lurking for us, as well as the rewards prepared for our characters, are constantly changing. Death forces us to start gathering equipment from scratch, but there are also permanent upgrades in the form of relics.
Elden Ring: Nightreign can be played solo. Nevertheless, the game was prepared primarily for multiplayer and online co-op with other players.
The action of Elden Ring: Nightreign takes place in a universe parallel to the world of the main game. We take on the role of the so-called Nightfarers, who venture from Roundtable Hold to the land of Limveld. There, they must survive a three-day cycle and at the end of each night they have to face a powerful boss. Surviving the cycle is worth it, as subsequent victories bring not only glory, but also rewards that allow the heroes to face increasingly powerful Nightlords.

Elden Ring: Nightreign review: An experiment that completely hooked me in
Elden Ring: Nightreign offers a fast-paced gameplay and a return to the kind of raw challenge I’ve come to love in soulslikes. And that’s exactly what I wanted, the more time I spent with Nightreign, the more I found myself enjoying it.

While AI is becoming omnipresent, it still struggles with specific, niche topics. Elden Ring is definitely one of those, which are hard to comprehend by Artificial Intelligence. As a result, comical situations can happen, for example AI trying to incorporate community's memes into the official lore.

Quest Daily: 8 / 10 by Tom Greer
Elden Ring Nightreign delivers a dynamic, adrenaline-fuelled take on the Souls formula. It’s tailored for hardcore fans with fast pacing, and brutally tough bosses... But its reliance on recycled content, and long expedition times may deter newcomers or those seeking a more traditional Elden Ring experience. For seasoned FromSoftware devotees like myself, it’s a compelling challenge. I only hope matchmaking improves at launch — because I’m itching for another run.
Stevivor: 8 / 10 by Steve Wright
Elden Ring Nightreign won't be every FromSoft fan's cup of tea, and this is especially true if you're a lone wolf.
Shacknews: 9 / 10 by Sam Chandler
Elden Ring Nightreign isn’t your dad’s Dark Souls game. It’s not a slow, methodical, and exploration-driven experience. It is high octane, caffeine into the veins, run until you drop. The game kept me up at night, well past my bedtime, as I tried to clear just one more Expedition – maybe this next run would be the one. I went to sleep with it on my mind and woke up ready to dive back in. Even after rolling credits, I wanted to get in and keep playing. FromSoftware has done it again.
