Exploring Elden Ring: Nightreign
For those needing a refresher (or perhaps hiding from a fearsome boss), here's a quick rundown of Elden Ring: Nightreign before you register for the network test. The game features co-op gameplay, allowing teams of up to three players to explore and battle together.
The trailer showcases new weapons and movement mechanics. However, the most striking reveal might be a boss that resembles Dark Souls III's Nameless King, according to The Escapist's Zhiqing Wan. Given the co-op nature of Nightreign, this boss promises an even more challenging encounter.
That's how to sign up for the Elden Ring: Nightreign network test. If you prefer to finish the main game before diving into the sequel, here’s a guide to obtaining the Ancient Meteoric Ore Greatsword.
