FromSoftware and Bandai Namco's attempt to make Elden Ring battle royale a thing, Nightreign, will feature fearsome enemies and bosses from across the Dark Souls series, arriving in the multiverse-like realm of Limveld. Eagle-eyed fans were quick to note the inclusion of some familiar foes in the reveal trailer, which the developers have since confirmed.
As anyone who has been pummeled repeatedly by him can attest, the outline of Dark Souls III's infamous The Nameless King can clearly be seen in the footage shown. Before you cry asset flip, game director Junya Ishizaki has reassured Famitsu (thanks, IGN) that these appearances will be minimal.
Ishizaki said these enemies represent creatures who have strayed into Elden Ring from other universes, implying further that the various FromSoftware IPs may have more in common than simply an NPC named Patches. IGN notes that, theoretically, this opens the door to Bloodborne, Demon's Souls, and Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice cameos, too; we'd add that the way Nightreign's various character classes appear to ape gameplay from those games is especially intriguing.
