Elden Ring Nightreign is a standalone co-op spin-off that takes the cautious dungeon crawls of Elden Ring and turbocharges them into propulsive, slash ‘n’ dash speedruns. And we played it!

TL;DR: It’s a co-op roguelike. Drop in, explore the map, survive 3 days and beat a unique boss.

Once you buy it you get access to the complete package, and there are no battle passes or microtransactions to contend with. It can also be played in singleplayer should you wish to stay offline, with enemy health pools that scale down so that it’s not too overwhelming for solo players (although curiously, there are currently no plans to allow players to play in pairs).

    You either didn’t get past the start screen, or you’re trolling.

    • Sekiro has a single weapon, Elden Ring has hundreds
    • Sekiro has death blows and the parrying mechanic, Elden Ring has staggering, dodging and blocking
    • Sekiro has prosthetic tools you can upgrade and switch through, Elden Ring only has ashes of war
    • Sekiro has lots of vertical movement through grappling and jumping, Elden Ring has no comparable mechanic

    Elden Ring is an evolution of the Demon Souls formula, but already with large changes. Sekiro is completely different.
