FromSoftware is working on a new standalone game set in the world of Elden Ring.
Revealed at tonight’s The Game Awards, Elden Ring: Night Reign features plenty of familiar elements like sites of grace and Evergaols, but with an emphasis on co-op.
So while FromSoftware boss Hidetaki Miyazaki stated last week Elden Ring 2 isn’t in development, this standalone spin-off is expanding the franchise.
Elden Ring players will notice plenty of recognisable enemies, but thankfully there look to be some new terrifying bosses: a lightning-wielder on a dragon, a cerberus with a huge whip, and a hovering goat yoga master (?!).
It looks like movement has a faster pace too and, presumably, the challenge has been balanced for co-op play – the trailer shows three players battling at once.
As for story, the narrator mentions the Night Lord who I’m sure we can assume is responsible for the titular reign.
Elden Ring: Night Reign is set for release next year across PS4, PS5, Xbox consoles, and PC (Steam).
