Bandai Namco has finally revealed the Elden Ring Nightreign release date, alongside some special editions you can pre-order. This standalone multiplayer expansion has been a big talking point for fans since it’s more of that Soulslike goodness gamers enjoy. It hasn’t been a long wait, but fans are more than happy about getting Nightreign this year.
Fans will be able to purchase Nightreign on May 30 for PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series, and PC. It’s somewhat surprising to see the multiplayer title coming to PS4 and Xbox One since most devs are abandoning last-gen systems. Then again, the original Elden Ring did come out on PS4 and Xbox One, so it’s only fair that Nightreign comes out there as well.
Alongside the standard edition of Elden Ring Nightreign, fans will be able to purchase the Seekers Edition and Collector’s Edition. These have many cool physical goodies that hardcore fans will enjoy, with the Collector’s Edition including a big statue for true collectors. Needless to say, this is going to be a must-have item for Soulslike fans and those who love physical games in general.
The announcement of Nightreign was a surprise to many, as no one expected a co-op-focused spinoff for Elden Ring. Fans who’ve played the original game know that it has some form of multiplayer, though it still focuses predominantly on single-player. It seems that Nightreign, on the other hand, is going to be the intense multiplayer experience fans may or may not have asked for.
Expectations for Elden Ring Nightreign are huge since the original game is considered incredible by many. Giving fans a unique open world with some of the best boss fights ever seen in a game rightfully had everyone talking. The game won numerous awards and its DLC was seemingly good enough to get a Game of the Year nomination.
