[ADL]

Supposed to be From Software's Monster Hunter.

As Night Falls, We Rise.
NIGHTREIGN is a standalone adventure within the ELDEN RING universe, crafted to bring a new gaming experience.
RISE TOGETHER
Join forces with other players to take on the creeping night and the dangers within featuring 3-player co-op.
BECOME A HERO
Take command of uniquely skilled heroes, each possessing their own abilities and distinct flair. While individually powerful, their skills grow even more formidable when united as a team.
TAKE ON THE NIGHT
Overcome a relentless environmental threat that sweeps through a land that changes between each game session and defeat the magnificent boss of that night!

Officially described as co-op action 'survival'

 

[Dr1f7]

co-op?
fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck that lmao

have fun with ur immersive solved-meta-on-day-1 co-op game where your team glitches the end boss off a cliff 3 seconds after joining match

 

[Remain Nameless]

Straight up reusing Nameless King is just shameless. Never thought I'd see a fromsoft trailer that left me cold.

 

[Fedora Master]

This is what happens when a fluke of a game turns into a franchise. Enjoy your slop, Soulsniggers.

Saw Elden Ring/From Soft and was going to post:

Then realised it’s three player co-op and I’d need 2 friends to play as intended…

 

[Child of Malkav]

Pure trash.
Shame that this name is better than shadow of the whatever crap.

I want to believe in From, but this actually sounds awful. Who's idea was this?

 

[Tehdagah]

Finally an innovative Souls game

This genre needs a shake-up.

 

[NJClaw]

what the actual unironical fuck

 

[Crayll]

Honestly thinking about it some more, From leaning into Action again and making 'Sekiro, but with multiple characters based on Elden Ring archetypes' is actually an awesome idea, could be great. But the co-op survival aspect is so fucking stupid it's making me lose hope in the concept.

Some more info here:

Players must choose from eight unique characters, each with their own unique abilities and powerful Ultimates. Their journeys take them to Limveld, where they will have to make split-second decisions when it comes to combat and exploration in the face of a night cycle that shrinks the map with the coming Night’s Tide. At the end of each night, players will face a powerful boss and, if victorious, awaken to bigger challenges. Each session will culminate in the third night when they must face off against the chosen Nightlord. Individuals can fight the night alone, but strength will come in numbers. Nightfarers must learn to cooperate to take down these challenges, combining their unique abilities together for an unparalleled experience in the ELDEN RING universe. All is not lost for those who fall in defeat. Unsuccessful runs will grant players relics to allow them to customize and upgrade their characters tailored to their personal play styles”

>not really a rpg anymore level up really fast stat growth is based on hero

Additional info from an IGN article -

Junya Ishizaki (Dark Souls Map/Event Planner, Elden Ring 'Battle Director') is directing. Miyazaki has talked about wanting new people to direct games and shake things up, apparently he's just letting them go hog-wild already.
This is not a live-service game, sounds like it will be complete on release.
There are no assist features or difficulty modes planned. Enemy HP will scale depending on the number of players (solo or a group of 3)

Bamco got fucked in the ass by Blue Protocol, they are desperate for cash

 

[Skinwalker]

Co-op? Really? Even soulsgames won't let me play a proper single-player campaign anymore?

FYI, I still haven't gotten back to Shadow of the Erdtree. If I had and was craving more Elden Ring, I'd probably be upset. As it is... I have plenty of new ER to play. And I also picked up Sekiro for $10 on black friday sale, so...

 

[S.torch]

Fuck off. If they want more money they should make more single-player games.

Demons Souls was basically a multiplayer game.

Wonder how much they managed to recover with this. I think it's gachashit.

Found on reddit

Seems Tencent bought Blue Protocal copyright/assets from Bandai Namico, and made a mobile mmorpg out of it. Said 'Gameplay, UI and story will be redesigned. And PC version will also be avaliable.'

Also, yes, its gacha

This has really tarnished my respect for the studio
