The Countdown to Elden Ring Nightreign Begins!

The anticipation for Elden Ring Nightreign is reaching a fever pitch, as Bandai Namco and FromSoftware have officially announced the global release times for eager gamers everywhere.

When Can You Play?

Get ready, adventurers! PC players will be diving into the action a little earlier than console players in many regions. If you're on the U.S. East Coast, you'll get to start your adventure at 6 PM on May 29, while console enthusiasts will have to wait until the clock strikes midnight.

Pre-Load Information!

Mark your calendars! Players can start pre-loading the game on PlayStation, Xbox, and Steam 48 hours before the official launch. This means you’ll be ready to leap into the world of Nightreign as soon as the gates open!

A Word from the Director!

In a recent exclusive interview, Nightreign director Junya Ishizaki shared insights about the game. He confirmed that the focus was primarily on experiences for solo players and trios, explaining the omission of a two-player duo option.

"This was simply something that was overlooked during development as we aimed to create a balanced multiplayer co-op experience for three players," Ishizaki noted. While he understands the desire for duo play, he promised that this could be addressed in future updates.

Team Up or Go Solo!

So, if you're planning to conquer the game with your favorite partner, be prepared for a random third player to join your escapade! You might just find an ace player to enhance your journey.
