ELDEN RING NIGHTREIGN

Three days to survive

Released on 30 May 2025 on PC (Steam), PS4, PS5, Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S, NIGHTREIGN is a standalone adventure in the Elden Ring universe. In teams of three, or solo, players control Nightfarers with their own abilities and must survive a three-day, three-night cycle on Limveld, a map that changes between sessions, before facing a Nightlord. Failed runs grant relics used to customise the heroes. Crossplay only works between PS4 and PS5 and between Xbox One and Xbox Series, not across PlayStation, Xbox and PC.

What the press says

GamingBolt praises excellent Elden Ring combat with wide build freedom, distinct Nightfarers, varied runs thanks to random events, and demanding Nightlords; it regrets crashes, the lack of a proper lobby system, a much less enjoyable and tougher solo mode, and missing environmental storytelling. PC Gamer finds it as confusing and abrasive as FromSoftware’s other games, but unlike anything else. TheSixthAxis enjoys more Elden Ring with friends and the random events, but criticises immersion-breaking bosses with too much HP, a pace that forces constant sprinting and targeting that sometimes fails.

Editions and prices

On 12 November 2026 the Standard Edition costs €39.99 and the Deluxe Edition €54.99 on Steam, the PlayStation Store (valid on PS4 and PS5) and the Xbox Store (Smart Delivery for Xbox One and Series). The Deluxe adds The Forsaken Hollows expansion, a digital artbook and a mini soundtrack; the standalone expansion is not listed here. Online play requires PS Plus or Game Pass on console. Physical editions (Standard, Seekers and Collector’s) exist according to Bandai Namco, but no retailer price was verified for this survey.

Who is it for?

FromSoftware fans who want to play together and enjoy short, intense sessions; solo players should expect a rougher experience. It is rated PEGI 16.
