What is Elden Ring: Nightreign?
For those who may have missed the news, here's a quick rundown of Elden Ring: Nightreign before you register for the network test. The game will feature co-op gameplay, allowing teams of up to three players to explore and battle together.
The trailer showcases new weapons, movement mechanics, and a formidable boss that, according to The Escapist's Zhiqing Wan, bears a striking resemblance to the Nameless King from Dark Souls III. Given the co-op nature of Nightreign, this boss promises to be an incredibly challenging encounter.
