Elden Ring Nightreign Multiplayer Spinoff Game Announced at The Game Awards

FromSoftware has announced its next game and it’s one that Elden Ring fans will love. The Japanese developer unveiled Elden Ring Nightreign, a multiplayer spinoff of the acclaimed role-playing game, at the Game Awards.

Following the release of Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree, which was nominated for Game of the Year at this year’s awards, the rumor mill churned out numerous claims that the developer was working on a sequel to the game. Given that Elden Ring’s director has denied Elden Ring 2, a multiplayer spinoff is certainly a surprise, but a welcome one.

Elden Ring Nightreign will expand on the original game’s existing PvP and PvE systems, taking players back to the lands in between. You can take a look at the game in the reveal trailer.

The trailer shows off a slightly more vibrant color palette, as well as new bosses and multiple players teaming up to fight them.

FromSoftware studio head Hidetaka Miyazaki has hinted that the studio’s future games will be in “a variety of genres,” so this is just one of its projects in development.

Elden Ring was originally released in 2022 to great acclaim, winning the coveted Game of the Year award at TGA that same year. Its expansion, Shadow of the Earthtree, added a new explorable map and dozens of new bosses, with enough content to fill a sequel.

Elden Ring Nightreign will be released in 2025 for PC, PS4, PS5 and Xbox.
