Elden Ring Nightreign is FromSoftware's standalone spinoff set within a reimagined version of the Lands Between, where a recurring phenomenon called Nightreign forces expedition parties to survive a shifting, storm-wracked world and confront powerful bosses known as Nightlords. It is not a narrative continuation of Elden Ring but a separate game built around its combat and world, playable solo or with a group of up to three.
Each run is a tightly timed expedition spanning a three-day cycle, during which players explore a procedurally arranged map, fight escalating enemies and field bosses, and gather gear before a closing ring of night forces a confrontation with that run's Nightlord. Players choose from a roster of distinct classes with their own skills and playstyles, and runs are designed to be replayed repeatedly, with each attempt starting characters over at a base level for a roguelike structure layered on top of Elden Ring's action combat.
This PS5 release is the Steelbook Edition, packaging the full game on disc in a collectible metal steelbook case.
