Exploring Elden Ring: Nightreign
For those unfamiliar, here's a glimpse into Elden Ring: Nightreign before you register for the network test. The game will feature co-op gameplay, enabling teams of up to three players to explore and battle together.
The trailer showcases new weapons, movement techniques, and—most notably—a boss that, according to The Escapist's Zhiqing Wan, bears a striking resemblance to Dark Souls III's Nameless King. Given the multi-player aspect of Nightreign, this boss promises to be an exceptionally challenging encounter.
That's how to sign up for the Elden Ring: Nightreign network test. If you're aiming to conquer the main game before diving into the sequel, here's a guide to obtaining the Ancient Meteoric Ore Greatsword.
