Elden Ring Nightreign: New DLC Bringing Monster Hunter-Style Gameplay
If you’re playing Elden Ring Nightreign, you’ve probably beaten a few bosses by now. Maybe you’ve finished the whole game, maybe you’re already thirsty for more challenges to overcome in the ever-shifting land of Limveld. Good news: more Nightreign DLC is on the way! In fact, FromSoftware’s post-launch plans for the multiplayer spin-off sound an awful lot like a live-service roadmap.
A blend of Dark Souls gameplay with Monster Hunter, Nightreign will see you taking on a new threat to the Lands Between alongside friends and allies as you work together to take down new monsters — as well as an old foe, spotted by eagle-eyed fans.
When From Software revealed “Elden Ring Nightreign” last year, Souls fans around the world were curious to see what the studio’s take on fully-fledged multiplayer was. After all, From Software’s previous games like “Dark Souls” and “Bloodborne” were single-player with some co-op elements. Elden Ring Nightreign takes the Soulslike genre in a new direction, bringing Monster Hunter-style gameplay to the Lands Between.
Between Shadow of the Erdtree and Nightreign, fans of Elden Ring and FromSoftware games in general are having a field day, and it may be a sign of what the developer has in store for the future. Elden Ring Nightreign was one of the shock announcements made during The Game Awards 2024, signaling a return to The Lands Between in a style reminiscent of Monster Hunter.
