Elden Ring: Nightreign Announced, a Co-Op Game for PS5, PS4

Releasing in 2025

by Liam Croft 12:50am

FromSoftware has announced a new, standalone Elden Ring with the subtitle Nightreign, releasing in 2025 for PS5 and PS4. Elden Ring: Nightreign is a co-op game that appears to pull in bosses from other FromSoftware experiences, with The Nameless King from Dark Souls 3 appearing in the footage.

Rise Together – Join forces with other players to take on the creeping night and the dangers within featuring three-player cooperative play.
Become a Hero – Take command of uniquely skilled heroes, each possessing their own abilities and distinct flair. While individually powerful, their skills grow even more formidable when united as a team.
Take on the Night – Overcome a relentless environmental threat that sweeps through a land that changes between each game session and defeat the magnificent boss of that night!

What do you think? Post your first impressions in the comments below.

Liam grew up with a PlayStation controller in his hands and a love for Metal Gear Solid. Nowadays, he's found playing the latest and greatest PS5 games as well as supporting Derby County. That last detail is his downfall.

Its a From game so its a Day 1 buy.

Yessss!!!! I love exploring From soft games with a friend.

After playing most of Elden Ring coop, it was very boring trying to finish it by myself. The sense of discovery in telling a friend to check this out was so much fun.

Goty 2025 LMAO

@Stragen8 It sounds like a rouge like since the article mentions randomised environments. Personally I'm not interested in that or the lack of an actual character creator.

@IceClimbersMain With GTA6 or Monster Hunter Wilds in the same year? No chance.

@TruestoryYep GTA VI is winning GOTY but if any game poses a threat its a From game. MHW won't even be the best game the month its released in going by that very underwhelming beta.

Story line makes me think of Hyrule Warriors though I know this isn’t a warriors type game. I’ll tell my kid, though they’re PC gaming these days.

Thank god it’s standalone. Would not be looking forward to coordinating with people trying to get whatever multiplayer trophies this will have.

@TruestoryYep if it releases. 2025 is probably very unlikely. And MH has no hope

Monster Hunter games are all the same copy n paste clunky game play trash. Hope Elden Ring has a solo mode. Don't wanna be forced to play with scrubs!

@CrushALL what a childish comment. The monster hunter franchise has sold more than 100 million units with the latest mainline entry, world, topping 20 million. It’s ok to say something isn’t for you without it being “trash”, which it clearly isn’t as the combat is the main gameplay focus of the series.

Also “scrubs”? Really? 😔

Biggest disappointment of the evening. Talk about dragging the IP through the mud.
Looks like just another (soul)less multiplayer battle royale. No wonder it’s coming out soon, it’s just reused assets in the same engine
I never thought FromSoft would start chasing the black hole that is GaaS but I was wrong.

Is it open world like ER? If so, im good.

I'll just play DS3 if I want to fight The Nameless King again.

So does this mean there will be even MORE Elden Ring articles!? Ugh…I own ONE old FromSoftware game, and I haven’t even played it. I just don’t understand why everything they make is extremely overhyped…
