Elden Ring Nightreign Overview Trailer

10-Minute Overview Trailer

Elden Ring Nightreign's release date is approaching, and fans are eagerly anticipating this multiplayer Souls RPG. FromSoftware unveiled a detailed overview trailer on May 2, highlighting the game’s lore, mechanics, and features.

As stated in the trailer, "ELDEN RING NIGHTREIGN is a co-op survival action game where you navigate a vast and dangerous field with other players. You must become one of the Nightfarers, fighting through the endless night and taking on scores of vicious foes over the span of three days."

The trailer gave a comprehensive look at what players can expect, detailing the gameplay loop. Players are dropped into the land of Limveld to hunt down the Nightlords that dominate the area. The objective is to defeat these rulers, achieved by overcoming enemies, seeking treasures, and more.

The gameplay revolves around gathering resources during the day and facing formidable bosses at night. Each passing day shrinks the map, introducing new enemies. By the end of the third day, players must confront a powerful Nightlord to conclude their expedition.

The trailer also mentioned, "the layout of Limveld will change each time you visit." This means that bases, enemy types, chest rewards, and other elements will be randomized with each playthrough. Explorations can be disrupted by sudden ambushes or unexpected events like meteor strikes or volcanic eruptions.

Last 2 Classes Teased

The overview trailer offered a sneak peek at the final two classes of Nightreign, yet to be officially unveiled. During the character select screen, a new character named Executor was spotted.

Executor appears to be a knight wielding a sword that can be imbued with power. A brief clip showed him parrying and countering an enemy. Towards the end of the Nightfarers' segment, another character was teased: a female Nightfarer with greyish hair wielding a harp.

Fans can look forward to dedicated character trailers for these Nightfarers in the coming weeks as Nightreign approaches its release.

The Roundtable Hold

Nightreign includes a base called the Roundtable Hold, where players can prepare for battles in Limveld. This hidden area allows players to equip relics, purchase items, and customize their characters.

Relics are equippable items found during expeditions that enhance player abilities. Different combinations of relics offer varied gameplay, encouraging players to experiment and find what suits their style. These relics are also available at the base from a small Jar Merchant, requiring a currency called "Murk," earned through battle rewards.

Players can also use the "fitting mirror" to change their characters' attire. These costumes are purely cosmetic and do not impact gameplay. The trailer showcased various outfits, including nostalgic Souls costumes like Solaire of Astora, Faraam, the God of War, and Ringfinger Leonhard from Dark Souls 3.

Additionally, players can collect "fragments of lost memories" during expeditions, which enrich the lore of each Nightfarer. These memories can introduce new objectives for players to achieve, revealing the origins and purposes of each Nightfarer.

PC Requirements

Nightreign's PC requirements are manageable, not as daunting as its challenging enemies and bosses. FromSoftware disclosed the game’s minimum and recommended settings on April 28 via Twitter (X).

The difference between the minimum and recommended specs is minimal. The minimum requires an Intel Core i5 10600 or Ryzen 5 5500, while the recommended is an Intel Core i5 11500 or Ryzen 5600. Memory requirements are close, with 12 GB and 16 GB, respectively.

Similarly, the graphics card requirements are reasonable, with the minimum needing a GTX 1060 or Radeon RX 580, and the recommended a GTX 1070 or Radeon RX Vega 56. Fans have praised FromSoftware's focus on optimization, noting the game's modest 30 GB storage requirement.

With less than a month until release, FromSoftware's recent updates are building excitement for this upcoming multiplayer co-op survival game. The overview trailer has provided plenty to look forward to as the launch approaches.

Elden Ring Nightreign is set to launch on May 30, 2025, on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC. Stay updated with the latest news by checking out our article below!
