FromSoftware’s upcoming Elden Ring spinoff, Elden Ring: Nightreign, has released a new trailer that provides an in-depth look at the game’s mechanics. The run-based game allows players to prepare for a final boss battle with up to two human-controlled allies over three in-game days.
Players will have a limited time to strengthen their character by fighting enemies or collecting gear and information from enemy bases. They can also face formidable enemies inside fortresses, earning powerful rewards if they succeed. The gameplay features procedurally generated levels, including Limveld, which offers unique challenges each time played.
Obstacles in the game include meteor strikes and craters filled with lava, similar to battle royale games like Fortnite. As night falls, the playable area shrinks, prompting encounters with minor bosses. If a player falls in battle, an ally can revive them by attacking.
The trailer also reveals details about the eight character classes, each with unique abilities and playstyles. The game features a permanent progress system, where players earn relics after each run, which can be used to improve their stats or unlock cosmetic costumes inspired by previous FromSoftware games.
Elden Ring: Nightreign is set to release on May 30 for PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
