ELDEN RING NIGHTREIGN is a standalone adventure within the ELDEN RING universe, crafted to offer players a new gaming experience by reimagining the game’s core design.
Developed by FromSoftware, Inc. · Published by FromSoftware, Inc., Bandai Namco Entertainment









In this standalone adventure set in the ELDEN RING universe, you play a Nightfarer tasked with resisting the creeping night and hunting the Nightlords in Limveld. You can set out alone or join up to two other players.
Each expedition sends you across a changing landscape for two in-game days. Fight enemies and local bosses, explore points of interest, and seek stronger gear before the safe area contracts; on the third day, face that expedition’s Nightlord.
Choose from heroes with distinct passive abilities, skills, and ultimate arts, and coordinate their abilities with your team. Enemies provide levels during a run, while boss rewards can supply weapons or buffs; runs also award currency and relics for between-run progression.
Players who praise the game often point to its fast, challenging combat, distinct hero playstyles, and demanding boss fights. Many describe the timed expeditions as especially fun with friends, where planning routes and rescuing teammates can make a run memorable; others enjoy trying different builds and pushing through repeated attempts. These reactions are not universal: some reviewers find the run variety limited or are frustrated by multiplayer and progression systems.

| Multiplayer | The provided store text explicitly states 3-player online co-op and supports single-player. The game is repeatedly described in the provided reviews as primarily built around co-op PvE expeditions, most commonly for 3 players, with solo also possible. Multiple reviews state there is no PvP, no in-game voice chat, and no crossplay; several also mention duo support being added later, but this is review-sourced rather than store-confirmed. |
| Multiplayer & mods | One review says a duo mod exists and that the game can be modded with Easy Anti-Cheat disabled, or played offline solo. Modded multiplayer support is not confirmed by the store text. |
