The Elden Ring Nightreign overview trailer reveals exciting new features while teasing two additional classes ahead of the game's imminent launch. Discover how each expedition unfolds and get a first look at available cosmetic items.
With Elden Ring Nightreign's launch approaching, anticipation grows for this multiplayer Souls RPG experience. FromSoftware's May 2 overview trailer provided deep dives into the game's lore, core mechanics, and survival elements.
The trailer describes Nightreign as: "A cooperative survival action game where players band together as Nightfarers, battling through three days of endless darkness against relentless foes across expansive, treacherous landscapes."

The gameplay revolves around hunting the ruling Nightlords in the cursed realm of Limveld. Players must strategically gather resources by day before confronting increasingly dangerous enemies each night as the battlefield shrinks progressively over three in-game days.
Each expedition culminates in a climactic battle against a powerful Nightlord on the final day. The trailer emphasizes Limveld's dynamic nature: "Every return to Limveld reshapes the environment - enemy placements, treasure locations, and battlefield layouts refresh with each playthrough." Random events like meteor showers or volcanic eruptions can create unexpected challenges during exploration.

The overview revealed glimpses of Nightreign's remaining undisclosed classes. One standout is the Executor, a knight capable of channeling power into his blade, shown expertly parrying enemy attacks. The trailer concluded with a mysterious female character wielding an unusual harp-like weapon, hinting at another incoming class reveal.
Expect dedicated character showcases for these Nightfarers in the weeks leading to launch as FromSoftware continues its marketing rollout.

The hidden Roundtable Hold serves as players' tactical hub between expeditions. Here, they equip powerful relics recovered from missions, purchase supplies from a mysterious Jar Merchant using earned Murk currency, and customize their appearance.
Relics significantly alter combat capabilities, encouraging experimentation with different builds. Outfits, including returning Dark Souls classics like Solaire's armor and Faraam sets, offer purely cosmetic customization.

Players can also discover "fragments of lost memories" during expeditions, expanding Nightfarer backstories and potentially unlocking new mission objectives that reveal their origins upon completion.

FromSoftware revealed surprisingly accessible PC requirements on April 28 via Twitter/X. The modest specifications (minimum: i5-10600/Ryzen 5 5500, GTX 1060/RX 580; recommended: i5-115000/Ryzen 5600, GTX 1070/RX Vega 56) with only 30GB storage needs demonstrate excellent optimization.

Elden Ring Nightreign launches May 30, 2025 for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC. With its unique day-night survival mechanics, evolving battlefield design, and cooperative challenges, FromSoftware's latest offers a fresh take on the Soulsborne formula.
