Overview

• Elden Ring Nightreign retools the Lands Between into Limveld, offering fast-paced, timed expeditions that blend Soulsborne action with roguelike and battle-royale elements.
• Players choose from eight distinct characters, each with unique abilities and itemized buffs called Relics, to power up through successive expeditions.
• Early reviews praise the game’s innovative three-player roguelike loop and challenging boss encounters repurposed from FromSoftware’s flagship titles.
• Criticisms focus on missing cross-platform matchmaking, lack of in-game voice chat, limited map variety and sporadic bugs in climbing and lock-on mechanics.
• Metacritic scores in the high 70s reflect generally positive reception tempered by commentary on its punishing solo experience and absence of a duos mode.
