ELDEN RING NIGHTREIGN is a roguelike action role-playing game developed by FromSoftware and published by Bandai Namco Entertainment. Released on May 30, 2025, it serves as a standalone spin-off to the critically acclaimed Elden Ring, reimagining its setting and mechanics with a strong focus on cooperative multiplayer and roguelike elements.

The game is set in an alternate past of the Lands Between, within a procedurally generated version of Limgrave now called Limveld. In this parallel universe, the events of the original Elden Ring never happened; Marika did not shatter the Elden Ring, and the Tarnished was never tasked with becoming Elden Lord. Instead, the Nox, a civilization that rejected the Greater Will and worshipped The Night, succeeded in defeating Marika and the Golden Order. This victory led to the destruction of the Erdtree and plunged the Lands Between into an eternal, fatal darkness. Players assume the role of "Nightfarers," a diverse crew of warriors from across and beyond the Lands Between, who gather at the Roundtable Hold to dispel the reign of night and defeat the powerful "Nightlords" summoned by the Nox.

ELDEN RING NIGHTREIGN is designed primarily for cooperative play, with teams of up to three players collaborating over a condensed three-day in-game cycle. While a single-player mode is available, the game's mechanics are heavily balanced around teamwork. Each day presents escalating challenges, culminating in a minor boss fight. Similar to battle royale games, the playable area of Limveld shrinks with the "Night's Tide" at the end of each in-game day, pushing players towards the boss encounter. The ultimate goal is to prepare sufficiently over the three days to face and defeat the chosen Nightlord on the third night.

Players choose from eight distinct "Nightfarer" archetypes, each with unique abilities, ultimate attacks, and inherent stats. These characters have fixed designs and outfits but offer varied playstyles, such as the defensive Guardian, the agile Duchess, the spell-wielding Recluse, the balanced Wylder, the precise Ironeye, the brute-force Raider, the parry-focused Executor, and the spirit-summoning Revenant. As players progress through runs, they collect Runes, Armaments, and Passive Traits. Although runs are session-based with gear resetting, a metaprogression system allows players to earn and equip "Relics" and "Vessels" that provide permanent stat bonuses, starting skills, or elemental affinities for future runs.

The combat retains FromSoftware's signature challenging, action-RPG style, requiring precise dodging, attacks, and strategic use of a vast array of weapons and skills. Many familiar Elden Ring weapons, enemies, and structures return, but their functions and scaling are often recontextualized for the roguelike format. New movement capabilities, such as an enhanced sprint and wall-jumping, add to the faster pace. The game also features procedurally generated layouts within Limveld, ensuring that each expedition feels fresh, with randomized item spawns, enemy placements, and dynamic events like boss raids and shifting earth occurrences.
