Overview

Elden Ring: Nightreign is an upcoming 3-player action roguelike developed by FromSoftware and Bandai Namco. It was officially announced at The Game Awards on the 13th of December 2024. It features an alternate-universe setting, loosely based on Elden Ring's starting area, Limgrave. Unlike Elden Ring and other SoulsBorne games, there is a heavy focus on fast-paced movement and mobility. Boss and overworld enemy encounters are randomised, with the players able to choose a "final" boss to fight, similar to games such as Monster Hunter's combat systems. 

Seekers of Redemption, you were chosen. Thrown together by forces beyond our control.

Tragedy must be averted and for that...
I need your help.

Stand tall, the night is far from over...

Little pillager, bent on sacking the lands of Gold!

I will swat away... and any all who dare approach.

Band together and prepare to claim... the life of the Night Lord.

In order to progress in Nightreign, players must survive 2 nights, each culminating in a boss fight.

Multiplayer works either through passworded group play, similar to other FromSoft Games, or a new matching system that matches the player with others looking for a game.

Unlike most previous games in the SoulsBorne series, Nightreign does not allow for character customisation, instead opting for a "hero" system which offers the player a choice between (currently) 8 predefined characters.
