Exploring Elden Ring: Nightreign

For those unfamiliar, Elden Ring: Nightreign offers co-op gameplay for squads of up to three players. The trailer showcases new weapons, movement mechanics, and a potentially terrifying boss—one that, according to The Escapist's Zhiqing Wan, bears a striking resemblance to Dark Souls III's Nameless King. Given the co-op element, this boss promises an intense challenge.

This concludes the guide on registering for the Elden Ring: Nightreign network test. If you're aiming to complete the main game before diving into Nightreign, here's how to obtain the Ancient Meteoric Ore Greatsword.
