Although Elden Ring Nightreign‘s reveal trailer at The Game Awards got FromSoftware fans buzzing that more was being done with the IP after Shadow of the Erdtree‘s massive success, there was a lot of confusion surrounding what was revealed. The trailer showed off a lot of cool features, but wasn’t overt on what Nightreign actually is, being a three-person co-op, roguelite title, which many have begun to compare to battle royales like Fortnite due to the Ring of Reign closing in as night approaches. What was even less overt was what was going on with the lore.
