Less than six months after the release of the Elden Ring DLC ​​“Shadow of the Earthtree,” studio FromSoftware has revealed the next chapter of its highly acclaimed game. The new trailer was unveiled at the Game Awards in Los Angeles on Thursday. Elden Ring Nightreign – and the game will be released in 2025.

The trailer showed armored humans fighting monsters, typical fare for an Elden Ring adventure. But the game is not a new DLC, but a co-op action survival game, as stated in a press release from FromSoftware. While it adopts weapons and abilities from the Kernelden Ring, “the game design has been reformed to offer players a completely new gaming experience. Players can choose from a range of unique characters to take on a new threat,” the release states.

Nightreign will have a mix of RPG elements such as dungeon exploration, character leveling and intense battles against powerful enemies, the release says – which sounds a lot like the base game Elden Ring. The difference? Players must work together to survive for three days. At the end comes the so-called “Nightfall” when the Nightlords come to challenge the players.

Since launch, it looks like the world will remain the same, but key locations, enemies, and weapons may change. Players can choose from eight unique characters spread across different classes with unique abilities.
