Elden Ring Nightreign was just announced at TGA 2024! Read on to learn how it plays, what it's about, and everything else we know so far.

Elden Ring Nightreign Gameplay

Elden Ring: Nightreign will be an online co-op survival action game, centered around surviving in a 3-man team over three days. Players will be able to choose from one of eight characters, called Nightfarers, all with set names, appearances, stats, skills, arts, and initial equipment. From there, they can choose to either work together with their team to avoid danger, or go at it alone to focus on item hunting or leveling up, before regrouping.

The game will feature a day and night cycle, in which the areas you can explore shrink further and further. At the end of each day, as night sets in and crosses into midnight, players will have to survive and defeat boss monsters. When you finally defeat the last boss on the third day, your team will win.

The game will play very similarly to the original Elden Ring and Dark Souls games, focusing on difficult soulslike combat, the abillity to cast spells, and the luxury of customizing the player's character freely. However, it's three-player co-op functionality distinguishes itself from the mostly single-player experience of its predecessor. Similar to something like Monster Hunter, there will be fields that can be replayed, allowing players to learn boss patterns and to become familiar with the best tactics to approach certain maps.

Elden Ring Nightreign Story Plot

Elden Ring: Nightreign takes players to Limveld, a parallel realm cloaked in darkness and danger. With the rise of the Nightlord threatening its delicate balance, players assume the roles of Nightfarers, each with their own distinct backstory and mission.
