Overview

  • Elden Ring: Nightreign launches May 30, 2025, as a $40 standalone roguelite spin-off for PlayStation, Xbox, and PC.
  • The game supports solo play and three-player co-op but lacks a dedicated two-player mode, which was overlooked during development.
  • Director Junya Ishizaki has apologized for the omission and stated that FromSoftware is considering adding two-player support in a post-launch update, though it is not confirmed.
  • Nightreign features dynamic difficulty scaling and self-revive mechanics to balance the experience for solo and multiplayer sessions.
  • The game emphasizes fast-paced, replayable sessions and refined co-op mechanics, marking FromSoftware's first major project led by Ishizaki instead of Hidetaka Miyazaki.
