We have only just finished playing the excellent Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree and we’re already being promised the next game launch.
Rumours Confirmed
While developer FromSoftware heavily denied rumours that a sequel to Elden Ring was in development, it turns out that the rumour mills were kind of right.
Gameplay footage was shown for the next Elden Ring game
Multiplayer Focus
It will focus on multiplayer co-op in teams of up to three players.
Elden Ring: Nightreign will have a much stronger emphasis on multiplayer combat, as you team up with up to three others in battle.
From a look at the gameplay in the trailer, it also seems that the combat will be much faster than it was in the original Elden Ring.
Release Date and Platforms
At The Game Awards we saw a first look at the gameplay of Elden Ring Nightreign along with a release date of 2025 for PC, PS5 and Xbox Series X|S.
Building on Success
Elden Ring already has PvP and co-op elements that have helped the game thrive thanks to its passionate community.
While it’s not a full sequel to Elden Ring, Nightreign will be a robust standalone game in its own right.
