What is Elden Ring: Nightreign?

For those who may have missed the announcement, here's a quick rundown of Elden Ring: Nightreign before you register for the network test. The game will feature co-op gameplay, allowing teams of up to three players to explore and battle together.

The trailer showcases new weapons, movement mechanics, and a particularly noteworthy boss. The Escapist's Zhiqing Wan notes a striking resemblance to the Nameless King from Dark Souls III. Given the co-op nature of Nightreign, this boss promises a significant challenge.

That's how to register for the Elden Ring: Nightreign network test. If you're aiming to complete the main game before diving into the sequel, here's a guide on obtaining the Ancient Meteoric Ore Greatsword.
