Elden Ring Nightreign Overview Trailer
10-Minute Overview Trailer
Elden Ring Nightreign's release is on the horizon, and the excitement among players is palpable. FromSoftware released an overview trailer on May 2, giving us a deep dive into the game's lore, features, mechanics, and much more.The trailer describes "ELDEN RING NIGHTREIGN as a co-op survival action game where you navigate a vast and dangerous field with other players. You must become one of the Nightfarers, fighting through the endless night and taking on scores of vicious foes over the span of three days."
The trailer detailed what players can anticipate in their gameplay experience. You'll be dropped into the land of Limveld with the mission to hunt down the Nightlords that dominate the region. Your journey involves defeating enemies, hunting for treasures, and more.
The gameplay loop is structured around gathering resources during the day and confronting formidable bosses at night. As each day progresses, the map shrinks, introducing new enemies. By the end of the third day, you must defeat a powerful Nightlord to conclude your expedition.
The trailer also notes that "the layout of Limveld will change each time you visit," meaning that bases, enemy types, chest rewards, and more will be randomized on each run. Be prepared for sudden ambushes or unexpected events like meteor strikes or volcanic eruptions that can interrupt your explorations.
Last 2 Classes Teased
The overview trailer provided a glimpse of the last two classes coming to Nightreign, although they haven't been officially revealed yet. During the character selection screen, a new character named Executor was spotted.
Executor appears to be a knight wielding a sword that can be imbued with power. A clip showcased him skillfully parrying and countering an enemy. Additionally, a brief teaser at the end of the Nightfarers' segment introduced a female character with greyish hair wielding a harp.
Fans can look forward to character trailers for these Nightfarers in the coming weeks as Nightreign nears its release.
The Roundtable Hold
Nightreign features a base called the Roundtable Hold, where players can prepare for their battles in Limveld. This hidden area allows you to equip relics, purchase items, and customize your character.
Relics are equippable items found during expeditions that enhance your abilities. Experimenting with different relic combinations can significantly alter your gameplay, encouraging players to find the perfect fit for their playstyle. These relics can also be purchased at the base from a Jar Merchant using a currency called "Murk," earned through battle rewards.
The "fitting mirror" at the Roundtable Hold lets you change your character's attire. These costumes are purely cosmetic and do not impact gameplay. The trailer showcased some of the available outfits, including exciting previews of classic Souls costumes like Solaire of Astora, Faraam, the God of War, and Ringfinger Leonhard from Dark Souls 3.
Moreover, players can collect "fragments of lost memories" during expeditions, which enrich the lore of each Nightfarer. These memories can unlock new objectives for your runs, revealing the origins and purposes of each Nightfarer upon completion.
PC Requirements
Nightreign's PC requirements are surprisingly manageable. FromSoftware shared the game's minimum and recommended settings on Twitter (X) on April 28, which are within reach for most gaming setups.
The minimum specs require an Intel Core i5 10600 or Ryzen 5 5500, while the recommended specs suggest an Intel Core i5 11500 or Ryzen 5600. Memory requirements are close, with 12 GB for minimum and 16 GB for recommended.
