A new Elden Ring game is coming – and that’s not the case Elden Ring 2. Revealed on Thursday at the Game Awards 2024, Elden Ring Nightreign is a new cooperative multiplayer spinoff of FromSoftware’s 2022 action role-playing game and will be released next year.

Available Elden Ring Players may think, “But…” Elden Ring is already a multiplayer cooperation game…?” That’s true, but that new The Elden Ring game is something completely different, offering new large-scale boss battles and traversal options to fight monsters together with other players. The jam-packed trailer showed off what looks like an entirely new landmass, giving you new ways to explore it, including the ability to hold on to a ghostly eagle to fly or climb walls.

Elden Ring fans will surely pick apart all the new weapons and spells in the trailer, but we can already see some exciting new additions, like the ability to grow wings and lunge at enemies. Given the size of some of the bosses towards the end of the trailer, you’ll probably need everything in your arsenal to defeat them. A fight against a man riding a giant wolf is similar to the sand arena Radahn finds himself in, only it is bleached and covered in fire. Curiously, there is also a blue circle that appears to be moving, which could indicate that Elden Ring Nightreign borrows some elements from battle royales.

The original Elden Ring was released in 2022 for PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Windows PC, Xbox One and Xbox Series X and Elden Ring Nightreign will be available on the same platforms in 2025.

Earlier this year, Reuters reported that Chinese company Tencent was working on a mobile version of the Elden Ring IP. Tencent has created adaptations of popular franchises such as Call of Duty, Monster Hunter and PUBG. We’re still waiting to see how Tencent and one of its subsidiaries might interpret the Elden Ring series for a mobile gaming audience.
