What is Elden Ring: Nightreign?
For those who might have missed the announcement (perhaps while battling a particularly fearsome boss), here's a quick overview of Elden Ring: Nightreign before you register for the network test. The game will feature co-op gameplay, enabling teams of up to three players to explore and conquer enemies together.
The trailer showcases a range of new weapons and movement mechanics. However, the most striking reveal might be a boss that, according to The Escapist's Zhiqing Wan, bears a striking resemblance to Dark Souls III's Nameless King. Given the Nameless King's formidable reputation and the co-op nature of Nightreign, his Elden Ring counterpart promises an equally intense, if not more challenging, encounter.
That's how to sign up for the Elden Ring: Nightreign network test. If you prefer to conquer the main game first, here's a guide on obtaining the Ancient Meteoric Ore Greatsword.
