Elden Ring: Nightreign Is A New Standalone Co-Op Elden Ring Game

In an announcement that nobody saw coming, Namco Bandi and From Software announced a brand new Elden Ring game.

It’s called Elden Ring: Nightreign and it will be fully playable in co-op and release in 2025 for PS5/PS4, Xbox and PC.

It appears as though it will feature the Nameless King Dark Souls 3 and also feature brand new enemies, areas and weapons.

The game will see you taking it on solo or in squads of three, and you’ll have to outlast a three day and night cycle making decisions about combat and exploration to take on a boss at the end of each day.

Here’s how it’s described:

“Players must choose from eight unique characters, each with their own unique abilities and powerful Ultimates. Their journeys take them to Limveld, where they will have to make split-second decisions when it comes to combat and exploration in the face of a night cycle that shrinks the map with the coming Night’s Tide. At the end of each night, players will face a powerful boss and, if victorious, awaken to bigger challenges. Each session will culminate in the third night when they must face off against the chosen Nightlord. Individuals can fight the night alone, but strength will come in numbers. Nightfarers must learn to cooperate to take down these challenges, combining their unique abilities together for an unparalleled experience in the ELDEN RING universe.  All is not lost for those who fall in defeat. Unsuccessful runs will grant players relics to allow them to customize and upgrade their characters tailored to their personal play styles”
