Elden Ring Nightreign was a complete surprise when it was revealed in December. The Elden Ring spin-off is totally different for developer FromSoftware as it combines the action gameplay from the original and sprinkles in some battle royale mechanics.
Since Elden Ring Nightreign is so different from the original game, there is some confusion about how the spin-off actually plays. Fortunately, FromSoftware conducted a network test for the game back in February that revealed what gamers should expect when they jump into a match.
When is the Elden Ring Nightreign release date?
Elden Ring Nightreign comes out on May 30, 2025, for PC, PS5 and Xbox Series consoles for $40.
Do I need to own Elden Ring to play Nightreign?
No. Nightreign is a standalone adventure. However, it is recommended that you spend some time on Elden Ring to get the feel of the game before it comes out.
