Elden Ring Nightreign director says FromSoft will be fine-tuning game balance right up until launch: 'We really try to tweak things until the last minute'

Wylder uses his ultimate art in Elden Ring Nightreign, recoiling after detonating an explosive pile bunker from his arm crossbow.

We're just two days away from the launch of Elden Ring Nightreign. FromSoft sickos around the world might be eagerly awaiting their chance to wade into a new style of soulslike punishment, but it sounds like the studio itself will be busy polishing the experimental spinoff until the last possible moment.

In an interview with GamesRadar, Nightreign director Junya Ishizaki said he's both "very excited" and "a little nervous" as the launch date approaches. Considering he's about to release an unconventional rework of one of the most beloved games in the last decade, I'm surprised he's only "a little" anxious, but it explains why Ishizaki said the Nightreign team is "continually tweaking and balancing" things as the clock ticks down.
