Elden Ring Nightreign: Release date speculation as FromSoft announces new game

Since it released in 2022, Elden Ring has become one of the biggest games of the decade, something that was cemented with last year's Shadow of the Erdtree DLC.

But even then, nobody expected FromSoftware to follow that up with a co-op roguelike spin-off of the soulslike giant - but then, FromSoft has never been a company to do the expected.

    Announced at The Game Awards 2024, Elden Ring Nightreign is the seamless co-op Elden Ring experience players have been begging for, and it's nearly here.

    We'll take you through the release date, gameplay, and the trailers we've seen so far to get you up to scratch on all things Elden Ring Nightreign.

    When is the release date for the Elden Ring Nightreign? 

    Elden Ring Nightreign is currently scheduled to launch on 30th May 2025.

    While there are different editions of the game available to purchase, such as the Deluxe and Seekers Editions, none of them grant early access, as many modern games now offer.

    Instead, if you want to play Nightreign as early as possible, you're going to have to wait until it officially launches on 30th May.

    Is Elden Ring Nightreign available for pre-order? 

    You can currently pre-order Elden Ring Nightreign.

    You can purchase every edition of the game for PC, PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X/S and Xbox One on the official Bandai Namco website.

    You can also buy the digital version of the game directly from Steam if you're a PC player, or from the PlayStation and Xbox stores.

    As for physical copies, you can get them from the following retailers:

    US

    Elden Ring Nightreign gameplay and story details 

    Even once the game has been released, we likely won’t know much about the story thanks to FromSoftware’s obtuse approach to storytelling, which relies on players understanding the lore of items.

    However, we do know plenty about the gameplay so far. 

    Elden Ring Nightreign is a co-op experience featuring a three-player co-op, something fans have been pining for forever, where players will dive into Limveld.

    Limveld is an alternate version of the starting area Limgrave that changes with every run the player completes. 

    The map will shrink as Night’s Tide settles, forcing players to take on a boss. This happens over a day-night cycle of three in-game days where you will get stronger and loot during the day, ready to take on a boss once night creeps in.

    Each new day is more challenging than the last. The experience can be enjoyed solo, too, but it’s designed for multiple players. 

    Players will choose from one of eight characters before diving into a run, with runes levelling up the character generally, not just individual stats, with Sites of Grace scattered on the map for levelling.

    Once you die, your run resets, and so do your levels, but you get to keep bonuses through relics to make your next run easier. 

    We also saw new and returning enemies, with fresh bosses introduced, and you’ll have new weapons to take them on.

    From the trailer, we can also see the game has improved mobility from the original with wall jumps and a greater emphasis on speed. 

    Rather surprisingly, according to the game’s website, the game will be available on the previous generation of consoles, just like the main Elden Ring game.

    Here are the platforms you can play on when it drops:
