ELDEN RING NIGHTREIGN finally has an official release date. The upcoming standalone multiplayer co-op action survival game by FromSoftware, Inc. and published by Bandai Namco Entertainment Inc., has been much anticipated, but not for much longer, thanks to its May 30th release date.
The new game is still set in the Elden Ring universe. So played of ELDEN RING NIGHTREIGN will be able to enjoy the challenges with friends thanks to the co-op multiplayer PVE combat system.

Having a truly native co-op experience is going to be a real game changer.

What The Developers Had to Say
“Teaming up in squads of three—or daring to go solo—players must choose one of eight Nightfarers, each with different abilities, to outlast a three day-and-night cycle. Players must make split-second decisions about combat and exploration across a map that can fluctuate with different biomes, weapons, and enemies in order to become stronger, and outrun the encroaching circle of fire to be able to take on terrifying bosses at the end of each day. This culminates on the third day, where if players were successful in surviving the night must take on one of the Nightlords—new bosses for this version. 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.”
