Shortly after the surprise announcement of Elden Ring: Nightreign at The Game Awards 2024, statements from FromSoftware and Bandi Namco confirmed some important details about the game’s upcoming release. Releasing at an unspecified date in 2025, Nightreign is a spinoff of Elden Ring, taking the form of an open-world, co-op roguelike that diverges from FromSoft’s usual Soulslike offerings in several ways, including the use of preset characters instead of player-created protagonists.
