The excitement for *Elden Ring Nightreign* is palpable as its release date draws near, and fans are eager to dive into this multiplayer Souls RPG. FromSoftware treated enthusiasts to an engaging overview trailer on May 2, which delved into the game's lore, features, mechanics, and more. The trailer introduces *ELDEN RING NIGHTREIGN* as a co-op survival action game where players, known as Nightfarers, navigate the treacherous landscapes of Limveld over three intense days, battling the endless night and confronting numerous vicious foes.
10-Minute Overview Trailer
The trailer outlines the gameplay loop where players gather resources during the day and face formidable Nightlords at night. Each passing day shrinks the map, introducing new challenges and enemies, culminating in a climactic battle against a powerful Nightlord on the third day. The dynamic nature of Limveld ensures that each expedition is unique, with randomized bases, enemy types, and chest rewards. Players must stay vigilant as sudden ambushes or natural disasters like meteor strikes and volcanic eruptions can disrupt their explorations.
Last 2 Classes Teased
The trailer also teased the final two classes for *Nightreign*, stirring anticipation among fans. One of the new characters glimpsed is the Executor, a knight wielding a sword capable of being imbued with power, showcasing impressive parrying and countering skills. Another teased character is a female Nightfarer with greyish hair, wielding a harp, adding a unique flair to the class lineup. Official character trailers for these new additions are expected in the coming weeks as the game approaches its launch.
The Roundtable Hold
Before venturing into Limveld, players can prepare at the Roundtable Hold, a hidden base where they can equip relics, purchase items, and customize their characters. Relics, which enhance players' abilities, are found during expeditions and can be combined in various ways to suit different playstyles. These can be bought from a Jar Merchant using a currency called "Murk," earned as battle rewards.
Additionally, the "fitting mirror" allows players to change their characters' attire, with the trailer showcasing an array of costumes, including iconic Souls outfits like those of Solaire of Astora, Faraam, the God of War, and Ringfinger Leonhard from *Dark Souls 3*. Players can also collect "fragments of lost memories" during their expeditions, which not only expand on the lore but also present new objectives, revealing each Nightfarer’s origins and purposes upon completion.
