Bandai Namco and FromSoftware presented a review trailer of Elden Ring: Nightreign, which reveals the main features of the new game.

Here's What We Know

The authors reminded that Elden Ring: Nightreign is an experimental game for one or three players. Its events unfold in an alternative version of The Lands Between, on a small part of it, and the locations will look slightly different than in the original Elden Ring.

Nightreign's concept combines genres such as souls-like, roguelike and partly Battle royal. Before a match begins, players choose one of eight unique characters and begin exploring locations in search of enemies and valuable equipment. Gameplay is divided into two cycles: during the day players fight weak enemies and get runes to strengthen their heroes, and at night they have to fight dangerous bosses.

The ultimate goal of each expedition is to survive three nights and defeat the final boss, which is chosen before the match starts, and some of them are "guests" from other FromSoftware games.

The session lasts 30-40 minutes. Each character has unique abilities and a prescribed storyline that will be revealed between matches in hub locations.

When We Can Expect It

Elden Ring Nightreign is expected to release on 30 May on PC, PlayStation, and Xbox.
