FromSoftware had a show-stopping announcement to make at The Game Awards. Elden Ring is getting a new standalone adventure in the form of Elden Ring: Nightreign. It'll be a new experience, putting a focus on co-op (or solo) PvE gameplay, where you choose from one of eight characters that each have their own abilities. It'll play like a roguelike, where after losing, players will be able to upgrade themselves in order to get further. Nightreign will be out sometime next year, for both current and last generation consoles, and PC.

ELDEN RING NIGHTREIGN is unlike any experience created before by FromSoftware. In this condensed action RPG, players will never experience the same journey twice as enemies, rewards and Limveld itself are ever-shifting and evolving each session in the realm of the Nightlord, Defeating greater enemies and venturing into the more dangerous parts of the map will uncover more powerful weapons and greater Rune rewards.​

The game's official page lists some of the finer details about the new spin on FromSoftware's formula.

YOOOOOO roguelike Elden Ring?????

 

[Plazorn]

Piqued my interest. This Game Awards has actually been pretty decent this year!

Nameless King and Firekeeper in there basically confirms connected world theory. Lands Between is the lands between all other FromSoft worlds.

Fromsoft, in preparation for being bought by Sony, created their first LIFE SERVICE SOULS GAME as a proof of concept.
Prepare to pay 30$ for the Wargod Consort Battlepass and a Bloodborn DLC that will limit the frame rate to 30 for that "cinematic feel" that Sony appreciates so much.
(in case you can't tell, I AM JOCKING)

 

[Veho]

Will it have crafting elements?

 

[yoyoyo69]

From soft trying to fill the void left by Ubisoft? At least it's a different genre, kind of...

FromSoft have explicitly said that it won’t be a live service game, which is interesting. Just been watching the PC Gamer hands on video for the game.

I’m looking forward to more footage coming out.

Oh hell no, thank you. I'm passing this one out.

 

[captainpringles]

This looks actually sick.

 

[Asia81]

og game is already a "survival" game lmao

 

[Clydefrosch]

Its unlike anything before.
But it must have the Elden Ring brand, we wouldn't want it to stand on its own two feet

 

[Azrubel]

Guess this is better than replaying through Elden Ring again and/or trying to make Seamless Coop work with my friends.

It's actually pretty similar in concept to Bloodborne's Chalice dungeons, just with even more roguelike elements such as pre-defined character builds sprinkled in.

It still uses the Elden Ring map, enemies, bosses, equipment + items, character abilities.

They have just juiced the movement speed a lot so you can get around the map quicker and built in a randomizer to shake things up each time you start a run. It's basically Elden Ring Co-Op Randomizer Edition
