What is Elden Ring: Nightreign?
For those who may have missed the announcement, here's what you need to know about Elden Ring: Nightreign before registering for the network test. The game will feature co-op gameplay, allowing teams of up to three players to explore and battle together.
The trailer showcases numerous new weapons and movement mechanics. However, the most striking reveal might be a boss that resembles the Nameless King from Dark Souls III, as noted by The Escapist's Zhiqing Wan. Given the Nameless King's formidable nature and the co-op aspect of Nightreign, his Elden Ring counterpart is expected to be equally, if not more, challenging.
That's how to sign up for the Elden Ring: Nightreign network test. If you're focused on completing the main game first, here's how to obtain the Ancient Meteoric Ore Greatsword.
