Overview

  • Nightreign sold 2 million copies in its first 24 hours after launching May 30 but opened with Mixed reviews on Steam before climbing to Mostly Positive.
  • The first major update introduced an auto-resurrect feature and solo-play balance adjustments after admitting the game wasn’t optimized for lone players.
  • FromSoftware confirmed Duo Expeditions for two-player co-op and announced enhanced Nightlord fights to roll out starting this month.
  • Critics continue to flag the encroaching circle mechanic’s unclear timings, the absence of a minimap and no cross-play as core frustrations.
  • A full DLC is slated for later this year as part of ongoing support that will shape Nightreign’s future content and FromSoftware’s multiplayer strategy.
