Overview

  • Patch 1.01.1 grants solo adventurers one automatic revival per nighttime boss encounter to reduce repeated game-over runs.
  • Solo expeditions now award extra runes for each enemy defeated to help balance challenges originally tuned for three-player teams.
  • Steam reviews have climbed from Mixed to 75% Mostly Positive since FromSoftware rolled out its post-launch patches this week.
  • Combat director Junya Ishizaki, who has beaten every boss without relics, urged players that overcoming Nightreign’s toughest fights is achievable.
  • FromSoftware confirmed it will add two-player functionality and deliver a paid DLC expansion before the end of 2025 to extend Nightreign’s roguelike co-op experience.
