Alright, let’s get into this. So Elden Ring Nightreign… yeah, it’s like a whole thing, and complicated as heck (why though?). Anyway, let’s dive or maybe trip into the details.
Okay, so here’s the deal: Elden Ring Nightreign—a roguelike thingy spinning off Elden Ring—is dropping in this really messed-up schedule. Like, seriously fractured. If you’re on Xbox or PS5, you start at this weird local midnight on Friday, May 30—at least if you’re not stuck in the Americas or some other time warp.
Oh, and the whole crossplay? Not happening. You and your pals start at different times, which kinda sucks, but hey, life’s not fair, right?
Now, if you’re a PC gal or guy (shoutout to the Windows warriors), it’s another story. Game unlocks globally at 12 a.m. CEST on the same Friday, May 30. Confused yet? Yeah, me too, a bit.
What’s coming your way with this new twist? Right, so it’s multiplayer with a roguelike spin, but here’s the kicker: no duo mode. That’s right folks—three’s company but two’s a crowd. Gotta team up with either one or a couple more, none of that twosome magic here, sorry duo fans!
Wanna know about character classes? Of course, eight of ‘em, fitting those Elden Ring frames you know and love. Each of these madcap runs takes you across three nights, each night wrapping up with a boss. And hey, surprise! Some of these bosses are throwbacks from Dark Souls. Yep, FromSoftware just might be hinting at a FromSoftverse—who would’ve thought?
Oh, before I forget, all this jazzy gameplay will cost you 40 bucks, which isn’t quite the vast universe of typical FromSoftware wonders. More like a love letter to Elden Ring fanatics. Check out some random preview on Polygon if you’re curious—or maybe don’t, it’s up to you.
There you go, everything and nothing about Elden Ring Nightreign. Take care!
