Elden Ring Nightreign is a thrilling multiplayer return to Roundtable Hold, set in a parallel universe to the original Elden Ring. Players will embark on a journey as one of eight distinct characters, each boasting unique abilities and formidable Ultimates.

Their quest takes them to the realm of Limveld, where they must make swift decisions in the face of intense combat and exploration. As the Night’s Tide approaches, the map will shrink, adding another layer of urgency to their perilous journey.

As each night draws to a close, players will confront a powerful boss, and if victorious, will awaken to even greater challenges. This cycle will culminate in a final showdown against the chosen Nightlord on the third night.

While brave individuals can attempt to face the darkness alone, strength lies in unity. To overcome these challenges, players must learn to collaborate, combining their unique abilities to end the reign of the Night Lord.

  • Discover Sites of Grace to unlock opportunities for each hero to level up and gain vital power. Each adventure is akin to exploring an open-air dungeon, offering a chance to earn lasting stat bonuses.
  • By defeating enemies and venturing deeper into the map’s treacherous areas, players will uncover powerful weapons and greater Rune rewards.
  • Each successful run will edge players closer to defeating the Nightlord’s realm and unraveling the mysteries behind the heroes of this parallel world.
  • However, unsuccessful runs will still reward relics, allowing players to customize and upgrade their characters, tailoring them to their preferred playstyles.

Stand tall, the night is far from over.
