FromSoftware Announces Elden Ring Spin-Off 'Nightreign' Featuring Roguelite Gameplay
Set for a 2025 release, 'Nightreign' introduces co-op multiplayer, roguelite mechanics, and a crossover with Dark Souls in a parallel world to Elden Ring.
- 'Elden Ring Nightreign' was revealed at The Game Awards 2024 as a standalone spin-off with roguelite gameplay focused on short, replayable runs.
- The game supports up to three-player co-op, with features like wall-climbing, flying spectral animals, and fast-paced combat inspired by Sekiro.
- A crossover with Dark Souls is confirmed, featuring characters like the Nameless King, set in a parallel world influenced by the Shattering War in Elden Ring.
- The game is designed with randomized maps, permanent upgrades, and condensed exploration, addressing replayability issues present in the original Elden Ring.
- FromSoftware emphasizes that 'Nightreign' is not a live-service title, with all features available at launch, and is the studio's first major project not directed by Hidetaka Miyazaki.
