Elden Ring Nightreign Launches Globally May 30 with Multiplayer Co-op

Elden Ring Nightreign, a standalone cooperative multiplayer spinoff from FromSoftware, is set to release globally on May 30, 2025, with varying launch times based on region and platform. The game emphasizes three-player co-op gameplay, discarding the open-world exploration of the original Elden Ring for a roguelike experience on the smaller island of Limveld, where teams scavenge and prepare to face the Night Lord in a multi-day cycle. PC players will have earlier access than console players in many regions, with pre-load available 48 hours prior to launch, while crossplay is limited to consoles within the same generation family and is not supported between PC and consoles. The game costs $39.99 at launch and requires higher system specifications than the original Elden Ring. Notably, Elden Ring Nightreign lacks PvP features and restricts multiplayer to solo or three-player groups, as the two-player mode was overlooked during development but may be considered in future updates. This fresh take on the Elden Ring universe focuses on teamwork and fast-paced gameplay, offering a new kind of challenge for fans.
