From Software Elden Ring: Nightreign - cooperative action game coming to PlayStation, Xbox, and PC in 2025

[mediocrepoet]

From felt my Souls fatigue and noticed my infinite backlog and decided to give me a break.

Good men.

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

Looks like the spider boss from DaS2 is reused as well.

Dark Souls' Greatest Hits: Casual Edition.

I really thought I'd buy any Elden Ring game but a co-op survival roguelike with premade characters whose build you can barely influence due to autoleveling sounds like it's purpose built to alienate me. Thank you Miyazaki for helping me find my previously non-existent standards.

 

[Lyric Suite]

Lmao wtf is this shit is this real?

 

[Caim]

First I thought this was an expansion and I got hyped.

Then I saw it was a co-op game with character selection and I got un-hyped.

We'll see at launch.

Just seeing this was enough to get my to boot up Bloodborne again. Christ, what a shitshow. Dark Souls bosses in Elden Ring?? Who asked for this?! Without some major overhauls, they're going to get their asses completely owned by the overpowered Tarnished.

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)

This is the silver lining. Whatever this is going to be, it's not taking time away from whatever Miyazaki is planning next. Even though I've already lost a lot of my trust in him after Shadow of the Erdtree, maybe he needs a fresh start in a new genre.

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.

My sentiments exactly. I can't wait to see what the bird-headed guy can do.

So did the Sony take over already happen or something?

 

[Cheesedragon117]

Sounds weird, but after watching that PC Gamer interview, it sounds like it could be something roughly analogous to Prey: Mooncrash combined with Bloodborne's Chalice Dungeons. The latter being repeatable randomized content with unique enemies and rewards, something Elden Ring should have gotten in the DLC if Miyazaki wasn't an idiot. And for those of you lucky enough to have played the rouge-lite DLC campaign for Prey, you know just how good and narrative-driven a single player experience can still be, even with randomly laid-out enemies, hazards and loot. It seems like the map will be fixed and unchanging in both cases.

It's too early to blackpill, fingers crossed for more promising info.

As long as you don't have to group with random Souls fucktards, maybe.

They really can't show what Miyazaki directs right now soon enough, maybe the reception will make for an earlier announcement

[d1r]

This is just pathetic.

 

[Drakortha]

Figures. Since Elden Ring appeals to 15 year old girls that play Fortnite.

 

[Kuruwin]

Doesn't even support crossplay.

 

[Grauken]

what the actual unironical fuck

Mobile gacha game next

 

[Berengar]

So is this like a Battle Royale game but with teams of 3? I'm confused

Seems cheap but From has enough goodwill with me where I'll at least check it out. Interested in more info.

Smart way to squeeze some extra cash without making a lot of new assets I guess... odd move for sure though.

No PvP, Coop only, survive for 3 days (so, a limited experience, can't grind forever), you have to explore generated world in order to find better equipment so you could survive monsters and bosses. Kinda interesting game mechanics–wise, if it weren't so blatantly riding the popularity wave of Elden Ring. It could have been a little and neat project, could have been next Sekiro in a sense of a departure from their previous games. But no. FromSoftware has lost its edge.

 

[Doktor Best]

They went hollow.

 

[ferratilis]

I honestly thought it's a battle royale game, you can see the fog closing in around the map just like in a br game. Anyway, skip. I think From's best days are behind us, especially with the looming Sony acquisition.

 

[Stoned Ape]

This doesn't really look very appealing to me, it seems pretty low effort to be honest. I see someone has already shat out a lore video on youtube for the announcement trailer. I've not watched it but I guess it's about the appearance of Dark Souls bosses in the lands between.

 

[Odoryuk]

A silver lining behind all of this is that Miyazaki is not involved in this project and he just lets other willing people to try directing a game, which he was hinting at for years now. I will wait and see his next game before deciding if they finally lost it or not. One simply cannot making bangers after bangers for 13 years straight
