🎮 A New Journey Begins in Nightreign

FromSoftware is once again shaking up the action RPG genre. Set to release on May 30, 2025, Elden Ring: Nightreign offers players a unique, cooperative experience within the Elden Ring universe. This time, the focus shifts from solo heroics to three-player teams, exploring a changing world that’s as unforgiving as ever.

🌌 Welcome to Limveld

The game introduces Limveld, a procedurally generated version of the original game's Limgrave region. The landscape, enemy placements, and dungeon layouts change with each run, making every session feel fresh and unpredictable. It’s a bold choice that combines the tactical planning of Souls combat with the replayability of roguelikes.

🤝 Built for Co-Op from the Ground Up

Unlike the original Elden Ring, which featured optional multiplayer, Nightreign is centered around cooperative gameplay. Teams of three are dropped into the world with just three in-game days to prepare for a final, brutal boss encounter. A shrinking playable area adds tension and urgency, borrowing elements from battle royale design while keeping the Soulslike DNA intact.

⚔️ Familiar Combat, Fresh Strategy

Fans of the franchise can expect the same tight, deliberate combat, but with new weapons, skill synergies, and enemies tuned for team-based play. With limited time and evolving conditions, coordination becomes key—think Dark Souls, but with a timer and no second chances.

🎨 A New Creative Vision

The game is directed by Junya Ishizaki, known for his contributions to Bloodborne and Dark Souls III. Notably, George R. R. Martin is not returning for Nightreign, giving the team room to pursue a darker, more experimental narrative path. Expect mystery, atmosphere, and lore—FromSoftware style.
