Elden Ring: Nightreign

A standalone cooperative experience set in the Lands Between

About

Elden Ring: Nightreign is a standalone co-op roguelike experience from FromSoftware that drops three players into a condensed, ever-shifting version of the Lands Between. Sessions are fast-paced 40-minute runs where the map shrinks, enemies escalate, and a devastating Night Sovereign awaits at the climax. With eight unique Nightfarers, randomized loot, and session-based progression, Nightreign reinvents the Soulslike formula for replayable cooperative play.

Nightreign proves FromSoftware can innovate within their own formula. The roguelike loop is addictive and the co-op is seamless.

A brilliant reimagining of what a Soulslike can be. The co-op roguelike format is a stroke of genius.

Mechanically superb with incredible boss design. Loses a few points for solo play shortcomings.
