What is Elden Ring Nightreign?
Elden Ring Nightreign is a standalone title; ownership of the original Elden Ring is not required. Director Junya Ishizaki describes it as a "condensed RPG experience," offering shorter, more intense gameplay sessions focused on co-op exploration, character building, and challenging boss encounters. Each playthrough begins with level one characters and features randomized enemy and castle locations, preventing simple memorization of strategies.
