Elden Ring: Nightreign surprised everyone when it was announced at The Game Awards in December 2024. The first major multiplayer souls-like from the studio that created the genre is going to be very different from anything we have seen before. Ahead of the game’s release, you can go hands-on thanks to an Elden Ring: Nightreign network test in February 2025.

Nightreign sees you choose from one of several classes and take on three nights in Limveld. The goal is to make it to the end of the third night, grabbing what you can to use, whether it be weapons, gear, or consumables, defeating enemies, in order to kill the final boss at the end of the run. Between each run, you can also level up your abilities and strength to make subsequent runs through Limveld easier.
