Elden Ring Nightreign will thrust players into co-op multiplayer PVE combat against a harsh and unforgiving world.

Teaming up in squads of three – or daring to go solo – they must outlast a three day-and-night cycle, making split decisions about combat and exploration across a changing map to become strong enough to take down terrifying bosses at the end of each day. 

Elden Ring Nightreign will be a multiplayer-focused return to Roundtable Hold, set in a universe parallel to the events of Elden Ring. Players must choose from eight unique characters, each with their own unique abilities and powerful Ultimates. Their journeys take them to Limveld, an ever-changing map, where they will have to make split-second decisions when it comes to combat and exploration in the face of a night cycle that shrinks the map with the coming Night’s Tide. At the end of each night, players will face a powerful boss and, if victorious, awaken to bigger challenges.

Each session will culminate in the third night when they must face off against the chosen Nightlord. Individuals can fight the night alone, but strength will come in numbers. Nightfarers must learn to cooperate to take down these challenges, combining their unique abilities together for an unparalleled experience in the Elden Ring universe. 

All is not lost for those who fall in defeat. Unsuccessful runs will grant players relics to allow them to customize and upgrade their characters tailored to their personal play styles. 

Bandai Namco Entertainment and FromSoftware opened registrations for players interested in joining the upcoming Closed Network Test for Elden Ring Nightreign.

The Closed Network Test will run from Feb. 14-17 and allow players to try the game’s co-op experience, teaming up in squads of three to outlast a three day-and-night cycle as they take on increasingly challenging enemies and bosses.

• Session 1: Feb 14, 3am to 6 am PT
• Session 2: Feb 14, 7pm to 10 pm PT
• Session 3: Feb 15, 11am to 2pm PT

The Closed Network Test will only be available for PS5 and Xbox Series X|S.

In this condensed action RPG, players will never experience the same journey twice as enemies, rewards, and Limveld itself are ever-shifting and evolving each session. Defeating greater enemies and venturing into the more dangerous parts of the map will uncover more powerful weapons and greater Rune rewards. Find Sites of Grace to give each hero a chance to level up and gain crucial power. With each session-based adventure being akin to playing through an open-air dungeon, every journey provides an opportunity to grow lasting stat bonuses.

Successful runs against the night bring players ever closer to defeating the Nightlord and unraveling the story behind each Nightfarer in this parallel world.

Elden Ring Nightreign is coming to PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, and PC (Steam) in 2025.
