Elden Ring Nightreign is a 2025 roguelike action role-playing game developed by FromSoftware and published by Bandai Namco Entertainment. The game is a spin-off to Elden Ring, using many of its features and gameplay elements, and focuses on roguelike and cooperative mechanics. Players control Nightfarers on a quest to dispel the reign of night.
It was revealed at The Game Awards 2024, and was released for the PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Windows, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S on May 30, 2025. Upon release, it topped the May sales charts across all platforms, received generally positive reviews and has sold 5 million units.
Gameplay
The game is set in a procedurally generated version of Limgrave, now named Limveld, the first open-world area of Elden Ring. While the game has a single-player mode, it is intended to be played cooperatively by teams of three players who collaborate over three in-game days to prepare for the final boss. Similar to battle royale games, Nightreign features a shrinking gameplay area which resets after players defeat the minor boss at the end of each in-game day. Every match features a different map of randomized enemies, items, and locations. There is also the chance for the map to feature a "Shifting Earth" event, where the map is drastically changed to feature a massive dungeon with more bosses and more valuable rewards.
An updated game mode featuring more difficult versions of the Nightlords, the Everdark Sovereigns, was released starting on June 19, 2025, with each Everdark Sovereign starting off in its second phase and progressing to a newly added third phase. Everdark versions of the Nightlord bosses Adel, Fulghor, Gnoster, Maris, Caligo, Libra, and Gladius were released on June 19, June 26, July 9, July 31, August 6, August 13, and August 20, respectively.
A downloadable content update titled The Forsaken Hollows was released on December 4th, 2025. The expansion adds two expedition bosses, new night bosses (including the Divine Beast Dancing Lion from Shadow of the Erdtree, the Demon Prince from Dark Souls III, and Artorias from Dark Souls), new locations, a new map (labelled as a shifting earth event), and two new Nightfarers: Undertaker and Scholar. The expansion is accessible from the Jar merchant at the Roundtable Hold.
