Elden Ring Nightreign’s dropping soon, sort of like a… well, fractured fairy tale? Or maybe just more complicated than juggling on a unicycle. Why? Beats me, but it feels just right for something spun from Elden Ring’s chaotic cloth.
So, the deal is, Nightreign’s this rogue multiplayer thingy set in the Elden Ring world. But hold your horses, ’cause when you start depends on whether you’re on a console or glued to a PC. Jump in at different times from your pals, but don’t sweat it – no crossplay to worry about just yet. That’s the chill part. Or maybe not. Who knows.
And now, here’s your guide to when you can punch the play button, depending on where you crash on this spinning rock and what gizmo you’ve got.
Elden Ring Nightreign on PS5 and Xbox
For console folks, mark your calendars – May 30, midnight – that’s Friday. Unless you’re hanging out in the Americas. Whoops, that’s a twist.
Elden Ring Nightreign on PC
PC? Oh, it’s the same tune everywhere: 12 a.m. CEST. Translate that to your time zone, and voila, you’re ready. Or almost ready. Sort of.
What’s Cooking in Elden Ring Nightreign?
Imagine Elden Ring, but with a multiplayer roguelike twist. Some matchmaking hoops though: Fly solo or party with two others. But, surprise – no option to roll with a buddy, just the two of you. Cue sad violin.
And if you’re into variety, pick from eight character classes doing their thing – think classic Elden Ring roles. The game dances through three nights, wrapping each one up with a showdown of epic bossiness. Some bosses might even tickle those nostalgic Dark Souls fibers – a wink at FromSoftware’s universe? Shh, don’t tell anyone.
In the end, Nightreign, tagged at $40, isn’t the sprawling landscape you might expect from a full-blown FromSoftware game, but more a special treat for the Elden Ring aficionados. Wanna dive deeper? Yeah, check out Polygon’s peek at it all. But I’ve rambled enough for now.
