Overview

• Elden Ring Nightreign is a $40 standalone spin-off blending roguelike and battle royale mechanics into bite-sized, three-player co-op expeditions across the Lands Between’s Limveld.
• Critics have awarded the game a 78 Metacritic rating by lauding its fast-paced boss fights and combat sandbox while noting inconsistent map variety and occasional control hiccups.
• Reviewers emphasize that Nightreign excels in three-player teams but becomes punishingly difficult for solo players and offers no duo matchmaking option.
• A lack of cross-platform play and in-game communication tools has been highlighted as a major oversight in 2025’s multiplayer landscape.
• The development team has released post-launch patches to fine-tune difficulty and character balance based on player feedback.
