Elden Ring spinoff Nightreign is a co-op roguelike with battle royale and Monster Hunter juice, but FromSoftware says it's "not what we'd consider a live service game"

A helmed soldier holds their arm up defiantly.

FromSoftware shocked us all by announcing Elden Ring: Nightreign at The Game Awards, a new standalone game set in the Elden Ring universe, and thanks to our friends at PC Gamer we know more about the three-player co-op roguelike.

PC Gamer went to Tokyo for some hands-on time with the upcoming game (I'm not jealous, you're jealous) and an interview with its director, Junya Ishizaki. Elden Ring: Nightreign is a co-op roguelike adventure set in a parallel version of the Lands Between that changes each time you play. There's no character creator; instead, you choose from several heroes and clear levels while avoiding a "battle royale-style wall of deadly rain" that closes in on you. You'll have to survive two days of the game's cycle, with a boss to fight each night and a chosen big bad you face at the end of each "30-ish minute run."
