On May 30, 2025, the world witnesses the highly anticipated global release of Elden Ring: Nightreign , a bold and innovative standalone spin-off from FromSoftware.
Expanding on the legendary Soulsborne legacy, Nightreign reshapes the formula by introducing a gripping co-op roguelike experience. Designed for trios, the game invites players to traverse the eerie, war-ravaged realm of Limveld, where danger and discovery lie around every shadowy corner.
Unlike its predecessors, Nightreign unfolds across a dynamic three-day in-game cycle, where escalating threats, adaptive enemy behavior, and ever-shifting environments raise the stakes with every passing moment. Team coordination, strategic planning, and resource management become key to surviving the relentless onslaught of horrors that emerge as the sun fades.
Available now on PC, PlayStation 4 & 5, and Xbox One/Series X|S, Elden Ring: Nightreign redefines multiplayer in the genre — offering a dark, immersive journey where every run is a desperate fight against time, death, and the unknown.
Rise Together: Embark on a Three-Player Survival Odyssey
At the heart of Elden Ring: Nightreign lies a relentless three-player co-op experience where team synergy, tactical precision, and sheer endurance are the keys to survival. Designed around intense expedition cycles spanning three in-game days, each journey challenges players to adapt quickly, scavenge smartly, and prepare for a climactic confrontation with a fearsome Nightlord—a boss whose power grows with each passing day.
The haunting world of Limveld is as unpredictable as it is unforgiving. Procedurally shifting environments, randomized enemy encounters, and evolving hazards ensure that no two expeditions are ever alike. Whether you're delving into cursed catacombs or traversing windswept ruins, every run offers new surprises—and new threats.
Players can team up with friends or seamlessly match with fellow wanderers through the online co-op system, enabling a rich, replayable adventure with dynamic team compositions. No matter who you journey with, the core challenge remains the same: survive together, or fall alone.
Choose Your Nightfarer: Shape the Fate of Limveld
In Elden Ring: Nightreign, survival hinges not only on teamwork but on the Nightfarer you choose to embody. Players can select from eight distinct Nightfarers, each crafted for a specific role in combat with their own:
-
Passive Traits : innate advantages that shape their playstyle
-
Signature Skills : powerful abilities to support the team or decimate foes
-
Ultimate Arts : devastating moves that turn the tide in critical moments
These heroes are designed with tactical synergy in mind—complementing one another in layered, strategic encounters. Here are a few standouts from the roster:
-
Wylder : A brutish melee knight who uses a grappling chain to close distances, slamming enemies into explosive iron spikes. Built for crowd disruption and frontal assault.
-
Guardian : A stalwart defender armed with a colossal shield and arcane wards, master of battlefield control and magical resistance. Ideal for frontline anchoring and ally protection.
-
Ironeye : A silent archer of unmatched focus, wielding supersonic arrows and enemy-marking techniques that enhance team targeting and damage coordination.
-
Duchess : A spectral rogue who manipulates time and memory, capable of replaying damage dealt and cloaking allies for evasive retreats or stealth assaults.
-
Raider : A stone-fisted berserker who summons ancient monuments that buff allies and create defensive obstructions, ideal for area control and offensive pushes.
-
Recluse : A reclusive mystic who channels elemental magic and dark forces to mark enemies for vampiric healing, supporting the squad through sustain and spellcraft.
Whether you favor brute strength, magical mastery, or stealthy tactics, each Nightfarer offers a unique path through the perilous landscape of Limveld—ensuring every run feels fresh, every team comp a new puzzle, and every victory hard-earned.

The realm of Limveld is plagued by the Night’s Tide, a creeping storm of darkness. Step beyond the golden tree’s protective glow, and your health begins to drain rapidly. Teams must navigate weather shifts, cursed terrain, and hostile monsters, all while gathering powerful loot.
Each night ends with intense battles. On the third day, you face a Nightlord, a towering boss whose defeat is the only path to breaking the night’s curse.

Prepare

Survive
Avoid the darkness, solve environmental puzzles, and manage your resources wisely. Revive downed teammates quickly or risk losing them ,and your progress.
Fight
Endure waves of enemies and unleash your team’s full potential during cinematic boss fights. Combine close combat, ranged strikes, and magic to outwit Nightlords.
Elden Ring: Nightreign is not just a survival game—it’s a dramatic, tactical dance against the eternal darkness. Whether you’re in it for the evolving lore, the rich character diversity, or the thrill of intense co-op battles, Nightreign offers a fresh and captivating experience that will delight both veterans and newcomers to the Lands Between.
