Elden Ring Nightreign, a multiplayer spin-off, is coming to PC, PS5, Xbox in 2025

FromSoftware vehemently denied any speculation about making Elden Ring 2, but it turns out the rumor mill wasn’t too far off – the Japanese studio’s next game will be a multiplayer spin-off based on its phenomenal hit from 2022. Called Elden Called Nightreign , the game will be coming to PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S sometime in 2025.

Nightreign is a standalone game set in the world of the Elden Ring, where up to three people fight to push back a wave of rising darkness, each with a unique set of powers.

A trailer for the upcoming multiplayer game debuted at The Game Awards 2024 and you can find it below:

Elden Ring’s own PvP and co-op features thrived thanks to the game’s massive popularity and likely underscored the potential for a standalone game based on the concept. One of the major updates released for the Elden Ring after launch already showed FromSoftware’s interest in this direction, as the Colosseum update was solely focused on PvP.

So even if FromSoftware doesn’t come out of the woodwork with a traditional sequel, the Elden Ring IP will be with us for a while yet – not only because of the developer’s own upcoming title, but also because Tencent is reportedly working on an Elden Ring gacha game.

FromSoftware’s latest release is Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree, an expansion of the open world RPG. Released earlier in 2024, the DLC has – controversially – been nominated for the prestigious Game of the Year Award at TGA 2024.
