Elden Ring Nightreign is a standalone co-op action title set in the Elden Ring universe. The game sees squads of up to three players attempting to survive in the ever-shifting environment of Limveld. Players begin each session at the Roundtable Hold, where they choose from eight characters with their own distinct abilities, before being sent into Limveld to try and survive the coming Night’s Tide.

The map shrinks as Night’s Tide approaches, with players having to end each night by facing off against a powerful boss, culminating in the third night where they battle the chosen Nightlord. Enemies, rewards, and the environment will change with each session, with unsuccessful runs still granting players relics that they can use to customise and upgrade their characters. Elden Ring Nightreign is set to release later this year for PC, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X|S.
