Overview Trailer for Elden Ring Nightreign

Detailed 10-Minute Overview Video

With Elden Ring Nightreign's launch drawing near, excitement builds for this multiplayer Souls-inspired RPG. FromSoftware dropped an in-depth trailer on May 2, covering the story, gameplay elements, and core systems.

The trailer describes it as "a cooperative survival action title where you explore a sprawling, perilous landscape alongside others. Step into the role of Nightfarers, battling through perpetual darkness against hordes of fierce enemies across three intense days."

The footage outlines key expectations and breaks down a standard session. Participants enter Limveld to pursue the dominant Nightlords. Success demands defeating foes, uncovering valuables, and strategic teamwork.

Gameplay revolves around resource collection by day, followed by boss confrontations at night. As days progress, the area contracts while fresh threats emerge. By the close of day three, a formidable Nightlord awaits as the final challenge.

The trailer notes that "Limveld's design shifts with every entry." This ensures varied placements for camps, adversary types, loot caches, and more across sessions. Journeys might face abrupt raids or chaotic phenomena like falling meteors or erupting volcanoes.

Final Two Classes Previewed

The trailer offers a brief view of Nightreign's remaining two classes, still awaiting formal announcements. During the selection menu, a fresh option called Executor appears.

From the clips, Executor resembles a knight armed with a sword that channels energy. Brief footage shows him deflecting and striking back at opponents. Wrapping up the Nightfarer segment, a quick tease introduces a female figure with ashen hair, handling a harp-like instrument.

Anticipate dedicated trailers for these figures soon as the game nears debut.

The Roundtable Hold Hub

Nightreign includes a central hub for pre-battle preparations before venturing into Limveld. This concealed Roundtable allows equipping artifacts, buying supplies, and personalizing appearances.

Artifacts, salvaged from outings, boost capabilities when slotted. Mixing them creates diverse strategies, urging experimentation to match individual preferences. A compact Jar Merchant in a nook offers these for "Murk," a reward currency from combats.

Players can also access a "fitting mirror" for outfit swaps. These visuals are cosmetic only, without gameplay impact. Highlights include nods to iconic Souls gear like Solaire of Astora's set, Faraam armor, and Ringfinger Leonhard's from Dark Souls 3.

During runs, gather "fragments of lost memories" to deepen Nightfarer backstories. These unlock goals that, once met, uncover origins and motivations.

System Requirements for PC

Nightreign's PC specs prove manageable compared to its tough challenges. On April 28, FromSoftware shared minimum and recommended setups via X, accessible for typical rigs.

Differences are minimal: minimum calls for Intel Core i5 10600 or Ryzen 5 5500, recommended ups to Intel Core i5 11500 or Ryzen 5600. RAM needs sit at 12 GB minimum and 16 GB recommended.

Graphics follow suit, starting with GTX 1060 or Radeon RX 580, advancing to GTX 1070 or Radeon RX Vega 56. Community praises the optimization, especially the modest 30 GB storage demand.

As launch approaches in under a month, these updates heighten anticipation for the co-op survival experience. The trailer builds hype for what's ahead.

Elden Ring Nightreign arrives May 30, 2025, on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC. For the freshest updates, see our related coverage below.
