The Game Press recently shared the first impressions of the next from software project. There are a lot of new information, and we finally have a clear understanding of which game is coming Elden Ring Nightreign. This material contains important characteristics.
What is the essence?
Nightreign is a cooperative action for three people in the style of all previous soul -like Japanese studio, but with some ideas and concepts from Roguelike and Battle Royale Genres. To a certain extent, from software makes its analogue Escape from Tarkov or Hunt: Showdown 1896.
Many, for which gamers keep it usual Elden Ring and other games of the company, on site and in Nightreign: a fascinating combat system, memorable bosses, dental complexity. However, the new project takes the Elden Ring formula and “squeezes” it in an online session online group with short missions for 30-45 minutes. The most important bet is on reconient.

What every race looks like
Each mission lasts three in -game days. At the same time, it is divided into five short phases: the first day, the first night, the second day, the second night, the battle with the last boss.
The session starts in the hub – in the fort of the Round Table, known for many gamers on the original Elden Ring. Here there is a choice of classes, the choice of a boss that you have to encounter at the end of the mission (just like in a monster hunter), and matchmaking with friends or random users. You can not only play, but in the future the authors can add a mode for two, not three players.
After the start of the heroes’s race, gigantic eagles are planted on the map (hello, Battle Royale). The job of the participants in the competition is to quickly find a good loot and to pump quickly, not to die on the first strong enemy. At the same time, the map is constantly reduced in size, so that gamers are attached to make lightning -fast decisions in terms of searching for the optimum route.
If you have followed the network games in the last ten years, then this is probably all known. Nevertheless, in contrast to such games, there is absolutely no PVP in Nightreign, and it is not necessary to compete with other teams here, because there are only three heroes on the map.
At the start of the competition, all signs of the first level and with basic equipment. To solve this, you have to collect the runs of the dead It is important to be able to navigate quickly on the map to determine priority points of interests. Corks where you can, for example, pump the throat or locks in the dungeons of which there is always a mini-beoss with a valuable price. If it at least shines slightly, then the magical storm, which gradually covers the entire area, will quickly overtake the heroes and kill it.
As soon as the first day ends, players have to fight against the SO -Called Night Boss. This is a serious test of how well the characters managed to pump. If you don’t have time or if the gamers do not act sufficiently harmoniously in the fight, then there is a high risk of gathering with the entire party. In this case the mission will have to start again.
If the heroes conquer the night boss, then the second day will come: the card will be available again for the study, but the complexity of enemies will increase. Such as the power of the Luta. And after the victory over the lead of the second night, the race will reach the final phase – the third day. Ultimately, you no longer have to explore the territory, but you only have to beat the last and strongest boss.
Night Wanderers
Classes in Nightreign differ considerably from each other. The player in fact chooses a nocturnal wanderer and in fact chooses a complete unique hero with a unique set of skills. There will be a total of eight of such characters, but so far only about four have been known.
The SO -Called Wylder is a warrior with access to the hook with which you can attract small enemies for yourself or reduce the distance with large opponents who cling. Like All Night Wanderers, he has his own ultimatic skill – an explosion that stunn up enemies.
Guardian (Guardian) is a supporting character that controls enemies. He knows how to throw enemies in the air, go on the way and land on the heads of the enemies and throw them around.
Hertogin (Duchess) will appeal to all fans Bloodborne – She is extremely agile. The Duchess has a particularly powerful skill with which the enemy can arise the same damage that he was caused a few seconds ago. And she can also make herself invisible allies.
Finally, the hermit is the Nightreign Magician. It restores the range of magic when it uses spells of different elements in a certain series of spells. The ultimatic capacity is extremely important in dangerous fights: the hermit cursed enemies, causing the heroes they attack to restore life.
What is curious: players can freely choose Wanderer the same night. That is, nobody prohibits the mission to three Duchesses. But it is better to differentiate, because the unique skills of classes complement each other.
Progression
Compared to the original Elden Ring, pumping the level in Nightreign is a simple process. Collected enough runes? A push button near the place of grace – and the character became stronger. You do not have to pump each parameter manually. Yes, and there is no time for this.
Regarding random loot, all types of weapons offer powerful passive bonuses. Moreover, even if they are simply in the inventory and are not used by the character. According to the creation of a build by choosing things for your bag (you can wear six pieces maximum). Maybe you love daggers, but you still want to choose a spear that makes the daggers stronger.
When players beat the bosses, their characters become stronger because of random modificators. Some simply increase the same attack, while others are wandering the night with interesting effects. For example, you can open the possibility to hit with lightning in the area every time you press the roll button. A similar system of prices is clearly inspired by Horgals.
Hurricane
Nightreign is an extremely dynamic game. Everything happens with lightning speed: from the level mentioned above, the level to moving on the map. Heroes run faster than in Elden Ring, get no damage at all when they fall from a high height, and without unnecessary efforts can climb into different obstacles. Yes, from Parkour added software.
Placing grace is automatically activated, it is worth someone from the group to just get closer to them. After that, each player can benefit from the place of grace, with the exception of the risk that the party runs away, and the partners will lose each other.
And of course adrenaline is sufficiently directly in the battles. Just like in the last games of the Japanese studio, the bosses in Nightreign are aggressive and complex, but at the same time they fight more often in pairs.
Elden Ring: Nightreign promises to be one of the most unusual games of from software. And such a session -cooperative adventure has the potential to be the most successful project of the company from a financial point of view.
How fascinating is in practice – some of you will soon recognize. Today the first beta test starts. Admittedly, for the time being, half – only imposed – only by invitation. If you did not come to him, there is nothing wrong, because the release of the full version is already planned on 30 May this year.
