Overview

  • Nightreign sends trios of Nightfarers into Limveld’s two-day expeditions, where a closing ring forces timed looting runs before each Nightlord boss fight.
  • Players select from eight distinct classes—such as Wylder, Raider and Recluse—each equipped with unique Relics, passives and Ultimate Arts to shape team strategies.
  • Permadeath resets progress on team wipes, demanding swift build customization and high-stakes decision-making within every run.
  • Early reviews praise the game’s spectacular boss design and class synergy but note its limited map variety and punishing solo mode.
  • Available now on PC with console releases at local midnight, Nightreign launches alongside planned balance patches and future content expansions.
